She could smell him, the fear that clung to him in drabs, entangling into beads of sweat that rained down the side of his face. She could hear him, his heart thrumming wildly in his chest, pumping a mile a second of blood into his system to keep him running. She could see him, just out of her reach, and waiting to be caught.

He was the prey, she was the predator. And oh, how she loved playing his game!
