Scene in my head. Story chapter?

I was running.
My heart was racing with suspense and exhaustion.
But I couldn't stop. I was about to get killed.
Since when was our neighbor a murderer?
I simply asked to borrow a bowl for my brother's graduation party.
And, yet, instead of a bowl, he grabs a knife.
Tells me he was waiting.
Waiting for his chance to kill somebody.
But why me?
Oh, my God. He's getting closer. I'm sprinting now, but not home.
Why am I running AWAY from home?
I don't even know what to think.
I look back.
He's practically on my feet.
I'm trying to scream, but no noise is coming out.
I try again. Nothing.
It's been, what, 20 minutes since I left my house? Shouldn't my parents be worried? He lives, like, 30 seconds away. But no. My parents don't give a crap. It's about my brother. Just like always. Maybe I can use this running as a way to let go all of my frustrations.
Let go of them before I die.
Before I know it, I'm crying. Bawling.
And I can't breathe.
But.... I'm speeding up.
I'm flying.
So quickly, I've lost sight of him.
I'm turning everywhere I can, flying like never before.
He's gone.
So I go home.
"Hey, honey. Did you get the bowl? Why are you out of breath?" my mom asks.
"They were all dirty. And don't worry about it," I replied.
She just nods her head.
Shouldn't parents be at least a little more concerned?
Not this one.
Like I said, it's all about my brother.
At least I'm safe. For now.
Sometimes, I hate my life.

My first "story." At least one I could add on to.
It's just an idea.
