Rules:- You can only add 1 sentence to the story at one time. (That doesn't mean you can't repost the entire story/paragraph from the thread above yours; then adding your 1 sentence to the end.)
- Each sentence must start with a letter of the alphabet in correct order. Begin the first sentence with A, the second sentence with B, etc. ... begin the 26th sentence with Z, the 27th sentence with Z, and the 28th sentence with Y, etc. ... and begin the 52nd sentence with A. A to Z, then, Z to A. Try to end the story with the last (52nd) sentence. Limit of each story is: 52 sentences. Start a new story once the previous 52 sentences are done.
- Use first person pronouns for the main character. This will solve the he/she problem. And both sexes can add to the story without gender bending. (To a certain extent I guess. So try to stay clear of classifying the gender.)
No penalty for breaking the rules, but you could be bending genders and warping minds. 
As I made my way down the wooded path, I heard a twig snap some distance behind me.
Begin next sentence with: B

Being an inquisitive sort of person, I ducked behind some bushes and waited, my heart beating heavily in my chest.

Certain death was sure to come - or at least some sort of bodily harm delivered by something inhuman, I was sure....but then again, I watch too many horror movies.

Darkness settled slowly upon me as I waited breathlessly, straining with all my being to detect further sound, and then there it was, a soft rustling of leaves, almost imperceptible at first but drawing slowly nearer.

Vox: Save your sentence and rewrite it with the proper alphabetical letter at the beginning. Thanks.
And maybe from now on, we each post the letter that will begin the next sentence so as to not confuse anyone. I thought of that yesterday, but didn't bother posting the suggestion. My bad.

Horrid apparitions, blood sucking, flesh rending creatures, these were the images that filled my mind as I cowered in wait, only to find, to both my relief and embarrassment, that a mere pheasant had been the cause of my alarm; note to self, watch less horror movies.
Next letter "I"

Instinctively, I dropped to my knees and stiffled a gasp with my hand over my mouth as I slowly raised my head to envision a strand of glowing red lights moving across the path just ahead about twenty yards.
next: "J"

Just when I had thought it was safe, a mere pheasant and nothing more, now I'm faced with glowing red lights in the dark; damn, instead of walking, I should have taken the bus.

Killing the lights is out of the question since I wasn’t smart enough to bring my pistol, and I’m scared enough that my feet aren’t taking me anyplace, so all I can do is hope that either the lights don’t notice me or if they do, they’re lights from that darned bus.
Next L.

Luckily, no killing need be done at this time nor bus passes collected as my eyes finally focus in on the bodies that go with the glowing red lights; a mamma raccoon and three little offspring!

My imagination is sure running wild tonight; first the pheasant, then the raccoon family - next thing, I'll probably imagine that hot, heavy breath on the back of my neck I feel right now that's making my skin crawl is something other than some docile, little forest creature.

Nearly passing out with relief and laughing out loud in a voice that sounded way too loud in the shadowy forrest, I realize my friend Varia has somehow managed to sneak up behind me on her roller skies and is standing close enough to send shivers down both arms!

Quickly, I glanced over my shoulder just to make sure there wasn't some crazed, saber-toothed squirrel or rabid pheasant looking to put a big ole hickey on the back of my neck or something.

Sheepishly I remembered the night’s events, and watching the movie “Speed” earlier that evening might explain all the bus references, but I know it’s not over yet.

White clouds that soon tuned gray and then black, did not bode well for my emotional well-being.
