It’s never like the movies…
You’re running from the bad men.
You meet a stranger.
For all you know,
he could be just as bad as them
The only difference?
He’s not after you.
You cling to him
yell for help
your eyes meet
and in a moment
of desperation
you ask his soul
to save yours
You close your eyes
covering your head with your hands
as you scream
but the bad men
just a step behind you
never reach you
the crushing blow
that you expected
never comes
you open your eyes
watching in awe
as that stranger
trips up your bad men
your eyes meet again
“Run.”
You freeze
unsure
are you really free?
“Run! Get outta here!”
You take off but hide behind a corner
continuing to take in your savior
Wow…
Your defences are down
and you feel a firm hand on your shoulder
you glance back
and it’s one of those bad men
SHIT
Well, lemme tell you one thing ladies
when that perfect fated stranger
shows up before you
and he decides to save your ass?
When he tells you ‘run’?
FUCKING RUN.

Super good advice. Still, this stranger seems like a cool guy to get to know. Maybe a quick peek and hope for a meet up later? :)

Haha. Hey if it's fated once. They'll definitely meet again.
