"I'm going to die...."1
"I'm going to die..."2
"Oh my god I'm going to die....."3
That was the pretentious thought that aimed in my head as I ran for my dear life trying to push back my breath back and forth. I couldn't look at my pursuer but I knew that it wasn't human. The only thing that was in my head was the fact that I couldn't keep this up, this beast that's been chasing me for so long will have its delight with me. Today, I really will die.4
"Oh my god.."5
"Oh my god...."6
Its so fast. I could hear its breath only a few meters away. How i ended up in this situation was a mystery. It happened so fast. Once I had met its face, I knew that I was looking straight into the eyes of death. Its fangs, its claws, its eyes, its breath. Its as if its figure was made to petrify you through your bone, and wait until your its delighted meal. 7
"AHHHH, SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP ME"8
I yelled over and over but of course no one heard me, or maybe nobody didn't want to hear me. I dont want to die....I dont want to die..9
My legs ran as fast as any female could run, I'm quickly losing my breath. This beast was right behind me, and at that crucial time, my eyes became blurry. Was this really it for me?10
My husband...11
My baby boy....12
My whole life was going to be finished by this poor excuse of an ending. From the corner of my eyes reflected by the contacts of my glasses, the beast showed itself to be a purely black wolf. My eyes started to blank out, tears flushed down quickly and easily. The wolf lunged at me, biting my leg. I felt the sharp pain in my ankle tripping me to the ground. The wolf released its grip on my ankle and went for my neck. I raised my left arm for a defense but instead was pierced by its fangs. I screamed loudly.13
"AHHHHHHHHHH PLEASE SOMEBODY PLEASE".14
Nobody listened. 15
I tried to push the wolf off of me but it only tugged harder, it was so hard and painful.16
I cant take this. 17
I reached into my purse, grabbed a pepper spray and sprayed its liquid into the eyes of the wolf. The wolf moaned and backed away. I got up slowly for a time and continued to run. I ran for a good 2 minutes and felt a large weight on my shoulders then a sharp pain conquered me in my right arm. I fell to the ground, screaming in both the sharp pain and for anyone to hear me. 18
I'm in so much pain.19
Its not fair.20
I want to see my husband, my son, my friends......21
The wolf shrugged its fangs deep in my arm hitting a pressure point.....I couldn't react. 22
I was screaming so loudly until it haulted for a brief moment. I almost accepted the pain I was feeling. This was my fate I thought. I almost wished......that this could've happened at a later time in my life.23
A few minutes later, I heard a loud hit beside my ear. I heard the wolf cry out, and the loud footsteps of more than one person.24
Thank god.....I'm saved...I can live for one more day.25
I turned over and saw a small crowd looking dead at me.26
(somebody call the ambulance; help her; where did that wolf go)27
Everything seemed so distant now, it maybe the most crucial moment in my life, from now on.....I'll cherish life more beautifully.. 28

This was really good and an interesting read! I like your take on wolves, bring their dangerous side to the forefront. At first I thought the wolf was a werewolf, but I am unsure still. lol I felt as if I was there in the midst of the action with the woman as she was being chased! I quite thoroughly enjoyed the suspense up until she was saved as well! Keep up the good work, and keep writing.

This is a good little short story. You've a couple of typos and one or two awkward bits; but you'll fix those on your next edit run.
I like this, I hope you develop it further, because this would make an excellent scene in a larger work.
Keep on writing!

i enjoyed reading this one. but i'm looking for poems. so yeah good mini story. but not a poem in my eyes. i know that the writer decides what the text is. but i was looking as something that could be classed as a poem in my eyes.

"trying to push back my breath back and forth." is a little awkward.
"or maybe nobody didn't want" can be "nobody wanted to hear me".
cant/can't
haulted/halted
Hm....bit more definitionof the setting of thispiece would have helped, but you deescribe the action very well.
