A State Of Sin Amsterdam Occult Series Book Two by Mark Hobson (golden son ebook .TXT) 📕

Or turn and run? (yes).

Now, when I was younger I was fit and agile and a very fast sprinter. I could outrun my PE teacher (much to his embarrassment). However, now I was in my forties, I had barely moved faster than a sloth for many years, and I was running over slippery cobbles. But I can tell you, when I fled with him tearing down the street after me with a knife in his hand, screaming and laughing like he was an escaped lunatic, I shifted faster than Usain Bolt with the tourist trots. I could feel the rain dashing against my face, the wind breezing over my bald head, my legs were pumping away and adrenaline was coursing through my system.

The guy chased me for about a mile, through the twisting streets, over busy lanes of traffic, across bridges. He only gave up the pursuit when I finally crashed through the door of my digs, panting and badly wanting to take a pee.

It was a terrifying experience, probably the most frightening thing that has ever happened to me. I was glad to be flying home to the UK the following day.

But it did inspire me to include a couple of scenes in my books, having experienced the real thing up-close-and-personal so to speak. So my trips to Amsterdam weren’t a complete disaster or a waste of time. Perhaps I should return to the city soon. It’s a good way to beat writer’s block.

My own moment of real-life terror in Amsterdam.

Mark.
