Zarya kept to
the concrete path that pushed away the patches of green grass, full
and lush from a gentler-than-normal summer and overwatered by the
city council. Her breath eased, despite her keeping a fast pace and
the heaviness on her shoulders as if she fought off the memories, but
they continued to chase her. The park was doing as it was designed,
offering a sense of peace for those who passed by and gave the city a
chance to breathe, instead of concrete over every inch.
Nature
wasn’t somewhere Zarya sought in the modern thoughts of being
mindful and at peace. She preferred the high-rise buildings, tons of
concrete, smell of heavily polluted air, and buzz of life in its
business as well as the tension of how the paranormal lives resided
undetected with humansat
least most of the time.
Zarya looked
ahead to see how much further until the edge of the park. She wanted
to get back walking on the sidewalks, the cars rushing past on one
side, and the comfort of buildings on the other with people dashing
in between.
A swirl of
wind picked up a handful of fallen leaves, breathing false life into
them as they floated upward, circling in the air.
Her skin
prickled.
Her thoughts
tangled.
She tried to
discern what was attacking her. A ghost? A typical mundane mugging?
It wasn’t something she wasn’t used to.
A rush of
energy came from behind, but Zarya reacted too slow, side-stepping
out of the way. The bolt of energy partially hit Zarya, knocking her
to the ground. The path hit hard on her backside, sending a shooting
pain up her spine, and her breath rushed from her lungs. Zarya’s
mind raced thinking of what had just happened. How could she have
missed sensing a ghost? She’d never had something like this happen
before. Her skills were reliable, good, and she always had enough
time to prepare.
The air
chilled around her. It smelled of a rotting ghostly spirit. Yet, she
wasn’t sure.
She sat,
stunned, hands by her sides, ready to push herself up, so she could
fight back.
But
no one was there.
