A warm night.
The building surrounded by darkness.
The only light coming from the small dirty windows.
I slowly pull the door open and step outside.
I walk down the steps, one, two, three.
I get lost in the intensity of the night.
The heat and the darkness over takes me.
I feel something by my feet.
I trip and fall on my face.
He turns me over so my face is facing his.
I try to scream,
I try to kick,
I try to get away.
My voice is gone.
He is too strong for me.
He holds me down.
Pinning me to the floor.
I lay there in the dirt and in the dark.
Helpless.
He strokes my arm.
I'm paralyzed with fear.
More people come to help me.
More men come to hold them down.
I am finally let go.
I run back inside the building.
Now I am safe.
