My breaths grew ragged as I put more miles between me and my enemy.

How did they find me? This is not good. Not good! I need to get away, far away…

The cold winter wind gushed around my face, wearing down my skin until it was shiny and pink. My vision blurred as my eyes started watering. My feet felt like cinder blocks, and I could no longer feel my toes. But still I ran. I knew this would happen if I let myself have a life, be more than just another faceless scum on the street, but I had. Now I could just hope that I was the only one paying the price for my mistake. Adrenaline pumped through me and kept me running from my dark past into the mysterious future.
