The Hunted Chapter 1

Running as fast as he could on an injured leg, Erik Tao wondered "Why me?" 20 minutes ago, he had been walking in the park, minding his own business, when he was attacked. It seemed that the shadows themselves were firing at him.

Running around a corner, he stopped. He was in an ally, with no way out. Searching franticly for a place to run, a place to hide, a weapon, anything, he saw nothing except the shadow approaching. In a last act of defiance, he held up his hands and fired 3 lightning bolts, hitting the shadow, but not stopping it. The shadow raised its fist. For the next few minutes, nothing was heard from the ally but screams of pain.
