"The Long Walk Home"

Cristina loved going to to the USO Dance hall to dance with the troops but hated one thing, the long walk home. She lived about four blocks from the dance club but leaving when the club closes at 2am, made the walk home seem far. Usually the streets were quiet but occasionally suspicious characters were about. Tonite was one of those nights. About a block from the dance hall I noticed a guy in a hat was standing on the corner smoking a cigarette. Before you know it I saw out of the corner of my eye that he started following me. He started getting closer, I started walking faster. Oh God, get me home safely from this long walk home....
