Danger signals ⚠

People steer clear when the danger signals show. It's correct behaviour. Self preservation, right?

So why does her heart pound harder when she feels the dark tingling sensation of danger? Why is it not fear that runs through her veins, but excited adrenaline? 

I don't know. 

And neither do you.  But she does, and that's all that matters. She doesn't care that it could end so badly.

And as she walks up the dark alley to meet the second stranger that week,  her danger signals rise just as fast as her heart rate.

Excitement overrides any warning bells ringing. She wants to feel alive, and she knows she can this way. 

It's such a shame that her need to feel alive will ultimately end in her death.

A drunken man will stumble upon her broken body one early Saturday morning. His need to release his bladder taking him to the alley that she so loves. 

Danger signals should always be accompanied by warning bells. ⚠
