Switchblade Salvation
Soul Snack 9/137 ... Switchblade Salvation!
Across darkness the opening snap of a switchblade commanded attention. A menacing alert now raised to an unseen foe behind him.Muscles rigid and a mind keenly focussed still left him completely unsure of his next action. Stillness and obedience seemed now the far superior option. A frozen body and a racing mind was the best he could currently deliver. Behind his darting eyes his cortex soon hit overdrive. Strangely, eerily time now seemed to drag.
Fear cavorted through his body with an unrestrained abandon - he waited, he wearied and he weakened!
Deftly an unhindered and unseen hand scoured the left pocket of his well used sports jacket! Wallet removed the still anonymous assailant flees unseen into the safety of darkness.
This he was unprepared for. He had never been robbed. He had never felt so much fear. He had never suffered such great loss.
As his knees steadied and his soul slowed - he began a calculating reason - how could this have been prevented?
