unpleasant surprise || past

It was late, way too late for anyone to be out, and especially for a girl as small as she was. But it wasn’t like she could help it, she had just got off work, and was finally on her way home. She was sleepy and tired and very achey, and all she wanted was to take off her heels and go to sleep. Her eyes were heavy, and she almost tripped on the stairs when she missed a step. (It wouldn’t be the first time she tripped on these stairs though).
She was too tired to notice that someone was following her, (or perhaps lurking in the distance), and whenever she did hear some footsteps and turned around to check, there was no one around, not a soul. The sound of her heels clicking against the floor was typically the only sound breaking the silence of the night at that hour in her neighbourhood, aside from the occasional stray cat fight, which so happened to also be taking place in one alley she passed by, and that didn’t fail to startle the life out of her.
Feeling suddenly alarmed, thanks to the cats, she walked a little faster, clutching tightly at the strap of her purse. The sooner she got home, the better.
