A young boy walked through a park just a few blocks from his house. The swings blew gently in the wind, but apart from that all was still.
My name is Luke. I'm just your average student from and average household. There is nothing special about who I am or what I do.
A gust of wind blew through the trees, making the branches rub against eachother. Luke got worked up, but then stopped, sighing releaved to see it was only the tree.
Though admittedly, I am a bit paranoid.
Luke laughed to himself. he was almost through the park and on his street. In just a few minutes he'd be home.
I suppose it comes from my strange obssession with magic. I loved everything about magic. I had read tons of books by this time. I had fully emerssed myself in a magical world.
Luke stopped, dead in his tracks. Across the park, in the small patch of trees, stood someone. They were only a sillouette and all that could be seen was a pair of glowing red eyes. It stared at Luke for a long time, the only noise his own heart beat, beating so fast he thought it would explode. He took in a deep breath before running the rest of the distance home.
He cast looks behind him whenever possible. Every time, he saw the figure, still staring at him. The sound of a car broke the silence. It's head lights rapidly approached the spot where the figure stood. Luke stopped to get a look at what it was, but when the lights struck it, it was gone. No trace of it was left behind. Luke turned and ran once more until he had reached his front steps.
He jumped up them with great skill, having done this many times before. He flung the door open and rushed inside. With his hands on his knees, he tried to catch his breath. The tiring run had caused him to decide to turn in early. He lay in his bed for only a few minutes thinking, before sleep took hold of him.

((Yeah, really shotty. It may become a manga if I ever learn to draw, but until then, you can deal with it's crappyness.))
