Your P.O.V

It was a peaceful and boring day for me at my job. It was finally my lunch break so I decided to go to the break room. I was sitting at the lunch table enjoying my food, when all of a sudden another employee, Linda my best friend, came to sit next to me. "Hey (y/n) hows it going?" She asked. I responded with a shrug and said "eh good i guess, you?"

"Oh Im doing great!" Linda said with a smile. I decided to grab the remote to the TV in the break room. Nothing too fancy, just a plain box TV. I turned it on and flipped through the channels when I stopped at an interesting news article on channel 4.
"This just in, breaking news two gruesome homicides that took place in a alleyway between Capricorn street and Apple Orchard Blvd last night ." The reporter said.

I put my full attention on the TV listening. "The two people were caught victim to the infamous sociopathic serial killer, Medic. Medic had gruesomly attacked the two victims sometime last night and sliced both victims throats."

I looked at my friend Linda, who turned a pale color with wide eyes, staring at the screen. I knew exactly why she was scared. The homicides happened very close to where we worked. At this point, I was getting scared too. The worst part was my apartment was right next to the alleyway
"The two victims were identified as 21 year old Sara woods and 27 year old Steven Jackson. This is a special alert for the whole city. The killer will strike during at night so please lock all windows and doors and please remain in doors at all hours of the night." I turned off the TV and looked at Linda, who was shocked and scared. I put one hand on her shoulder to make her feel better, which helped.

In the outside I felt like it wasn't bothering me, but in the inside and in reality, i was terrified of the situation. I didn't want to show my fear to Linda, because that really wouldn't be a great idea to make my friend even more scared than what she is. "Its going to be ok, Linda. Maybe he already left the city?" Linda looked at me worried.

"Well...maybe..." Linda said nervously. Poor Linda, I felt bad for her. Linda was smaller than me and much more paranoid and emotional.
             
10 minutes later:

I went back to work and as I was doing my job, I could hear other employees talking about the serial killer, Medic. I was kind of worried about walking home by myself since I got off of work at 6:45pm. "Its only a 5 minute walk from here to my apartment complex, maybe I'll be fine." I thought trying to calm myself.

                     1 hour later:

"Well its time for me to go." I said to noone in particular. I was a bit anxious but got outside, and started to make my way to the sidewalk when I heard someone call out my name...it was Linda? "Wait (y/n)!!" She yelled running after me. "Are you sure you dont want a ride home?" I thought for a moment before answering. "No, its fine my apartment  is just a block away." "Well ok, be safe (y/n), see you tomorrow!" We both waved good bye and went our separate ways.

I was kinda bored so i took out my phone and decided to search up this whole 'serial killer' topic. I tapped on a link about the news and what it said was bone chilling. It said how the killer was on the loose and that noone knows what he or she looks like. No pictures, video surveillance cameras or witnesses have caught the killer. All the police know is, is that the killer wrote 'MEDIC' on a brick wall in a alleyway in another city, written in blood, while a dead body was under it.

'Oh my god...that is just terrible...' I thought to myself. I hope this person gets caught. I decided to put my phone away so I  wont get creept out too much. While I was walking, I noticed how there was only a few people out in the streets. That is really unusual considering that the street I was walking near was almost always busy and filled with cars and people.

'Hm, they probably heard about the whole killer on the loose stuff' I thought to myself. There is nothing in the world that is worse than being face to face to a murder, especially someone who has killed dozens of people. Come to think of it, the report did say the killer was extremely intelligent and dangerous. The thought made me shiver and I started to walk faster. All of a sudden i started feeling like someone was behind me.

'Ugh pull yourself together (y/n)! Its just your mind playing tricks on you...really really scary tricks.' I took out my phone to look at the time and it was 7 o'clock pm already. All of a sudden I got the shivers, and I couldn't resist the temptation of looking behind me. I swiftly turned around and... still nothing, but the kind of nothing that would be in movies before something might happen.
