You have no idea how long you run, or how far you run. In your blind panic, you know only that you have to run, even if these are the final seconds of your young life.

You can hear him behind you,crashing through the branches even harder than you are.

Then, after you don't know how long, you stop running. You just can't go on any longer.

You bend over, sucking air into your lungs.

When your breathing is under control, you straighten up and look around.

More trees and shadows. More of the ground mist. Only now, you have even less of an idea where you are, if that is even possible.

You shouldn't be alive this time. He was right behind you, close enough that you felt the air from one of his swings. You shouldn't have got away from him this time. You should be dead. You should be the creep's final victim of the night.

The thought hits you like a slap across the face.

Unless . . .

Unless the son of a bitch is playing with you.

He should have had you, should have been able to stick that huge machete between your shoulder blades. But somehow you got away.

He's enjoying the chase too much to end it too soon. he's going to keep chasing you, making you think you're finished, then letting you get away, so he can build up your hope, then chase you again.

And,when he's tired of the game, then he will finish you off.

The thought, that you are just a plaything to a supernatural serial killer, makes you cry.

You have a decision to make: Are you going to keep trying to survive, or are you going to give up and refuse to play the game? Keep running on the chance that you might get away, or stay where you are and let the creep kill you?

• You keep running; maybe you can beat him at his own game
• You're tired of running; you'll stay here and let him kill you
