As the clock struck midnight, the moon illuminated the gloomy path to home. My footsteps echoed against the concrete road as i tread slowly back from my late night shift. I was working part time as a Barista in order to make my ends meet while i finished the last year of my University. I planned to get a decent job once i graduated so i could live a decent lifestyle. I had already completed an internship and was all set for a good pay in the near future. Even i never expected myself to endanger all that i had built over feeling her warmth again.
As i carried on walking, it would be another 10mins untill i reached my apartment. However as i crossed an alley, the moon light reflected on an angle on the mirror of a car, providing me with the image of the musky alley. Instantly my footsteps stopped for my vision was grasped by the sight of a pale woman, her back resting against the wall with her head in her arms. She was wearing scarlet gown, which had slits on various areas. My eyes were fixated and my mind could not focus elsewhere. My legs began to move towards her without my consent. I would have normally batted an eye and left but there was something about her that just enchanted me.
