Write a story that could be titled 'Don't Walk Home Alone'
Helicopter Parents
‘Don’t walk home alone’ we’re told. ‘Don’t walk alone at night’ they say. But what could they think could really go wrong? So today, I stray away from my friends, and I walk the path to my house by myself. Everything is going fine until a figure appears from behind.
He grabs me by the neck, and throws me on the cement. I cry out for help, but it falls on deaf ears, and I’m already halfway to death.
And then my attacker lets out a cry, and fall to my side.
“You know they say don’t walk home alone.” My mother appears infront of me, and the fallen man, reaching out a bloodied hand.
“But what could really happen when you’re always five steps behind mine?” I respond with a sigh.
