The girl stood quietly at the corner of the dark alleyway. She peeked around the wall onto the street. It was quite dark. There were only two lampposts on he street. The one nearest the girl was flickering, making it difficult to see far down the street. She stepped back into the alley, allowing the shadows to swallow her and hide her in the darkness.
She inhaled sharply as she heard slow footsteps approaching her. She moved further into the alley and away from the street. She had reached the middle of the alley; there was another side street to her right. She looked back at the entrance to the main street. A dark silhouette appeared at the entrance.
