Running through the streets, abandoned and desolate, was something he had never imagined himself doing in his mind’s eye. The sound of his pounding heart was drowned out by the equal rhythm of his attacker’s footsteps, closing in on him with each passing second. The victim’s lean, wrinkled face was slick with sweat and blood, his breaths coming in ragged gasps as he realized that his fate would be the same as Melissa’s: death.

He turned a corner and found himself at a dead end, his heart sinking as he realized that there was nowhere left to run. His attacker closed in on him, a dark shadow in the dimly lit alleyway. The victim’s heart pounded in his chest as he braced himself for the inevitable.

The attacker grabbed him roughly, throwing him to the ground with a sickening thud. The victim cried out in pain as his bones rattled against the pavement, his body wracked with agony. The attacker loomed over him, a twisted smile on his face as he took his time in creating pain for the victim.

The victim’s screams echoed through the empty streets, a symphony of agony and terror. The sound of bones snapping and flesh tearing filled the air, punctuated by the sickening sound of the attacker’s laughter. The victim’s world narrowed to a pinpoint of pain, his body writhing in agony as the attacker continued his assault.

It was like being trapped in a nightmare, a waking horror that he couldn’t escape. The victim’s mind raced with fear and desperation, his thoughts a jumbled mess of pain and terror. He felt like a trapped animal, helpless and alone in the face of his attacker’s sadistic glee.

As the pain intensified, the victim’s mind began to slip away, his consciousness fading into darkness. He felt like he was drowning, sinking deeper and deeper into a sea of agony. The attacker’s face loomed over him like a demon, his twisted smile a mockery of the victim’s suffering.

In the end, the victim’s screams faded into silence, his body still and lifeless on the cold pavement. The attacker stood over him, triumphant and satisfied, his twisted laughter echoing through the empty streets. For the victim, there was no escape from the horror that had consumed him, no hope for a happy ending. He was just another victim, lost in the darkness of the night.
