11. Eliza Mitchell, your neighbor home from college

Just as you enter the park you catch a female form up ahead. She’s bent over catching her breath, her large chest heaving against a black and purple sports bra. She wears matching athletic shorts and as you get closer you see she has earbuds in. You recognize her: Eliza Mitchell. She’d be home from college on her spring break about this time.

You call out to her but she doesn’t respond. She must be blasting her music. You look around you and realize it’s just the two of you on the trail. You could easily grab her if you wanted to. And you did want to. You know you’re coming up on a bend with a dirt trail leading to a clearing in the trees. If you wanted her now would be your chance.

As she rounds the bend you speed up until you’re right behind her. You can almost smell her and she has no idea you’re there.

You reach out grab her ponytail, startling her out of her rhythm.
