Never Look Back Novels & Stories

What’s this thing you’re trying not to do? Don’t say it’s nothing. There’s someone else you’re trying not to be, right there behind your eyes. I see it. Look at me. Please.

Andrius continues. "There are some instances where we tend to forget to look back to see what's hidden. Instead, we are trying to do our best to look side by side. And that's what you all did before. Sometimes, you will never find what you are looking for if you can't even take a glance at a person's back. You can already catch the thief, but because you know him or you think he can't do such a thing you are trying to block the thought of him being a criminal. Without seeing that he is holding a knife on his back and planning of killing you once you turn around."

Then I turn and walk away. I don’t rush. I don’t stop. And I don’t look back this time. Because there is nothing behind me that I can carry forward anymore.

Waiting. But I didn’t look back. I wasn’t going to give him the satisfaction.

She didn’t look back. Good.

Not ever. I didn’t even look back.

She turned back to look. "Don't disappoint."
