Run for your life
"Aahhh!!! Watch where you are going lady!!" an elderly lady screamed at me, her face was red with anger. " I am really sorry" I apologise for bumping into her and spilling her drink on her dress, while still running to lose the guys chasing me.
I have been running, hiding and trying to dodge these guys to save myself from the people who have sent them to capture and bring me back to the hell hole from which I have managed to escape. 'Ha! like I am going back ever'
My legs are sore and my T-shirt is sticking to my body like a second skin but I don't give up and keep running because my life depends on it literally. I snuck into a dark alley, looking for a place to hide.
I could make out a shape of a dumpster ahead in the darkness so I walk towards it with wobbly legs to find someplace to hide. I rest my back against the wall, close my eyes and slid down. I know it's probably dirty but I have been living on streets since I ran away with just a small backpack to carry enough supplies to survive at least a few days.
" Boss, I am sure I saw her running this way" one of the guy spoke. "Ah, that little bitch is gonna make me lose my job" I guess whoever was the boss shouted with frustration.
I'm panting from all the running so I close my mouth with both my hands so that my life source aka breathing won't become the reason of my death. I chuckled inside my head thinking about the irony. Because c'mon it would look so weird on my grave if it is written as 'in loving memory of Ariana who died because she was breathing... hahaha'
I might have hit my head somewhere to crack jokes in this situation. Now back to the ordeal I am in, I start shifting slowly still crouching down, towards the other side of the alley. "Please save me today from these brainless apes.." looking up towards the sky I send a silent prayer to whoever is up there, hoping they would help.
I can hear their conversation starting to fade away so I get up from my crouching position and slowly start walking towards the road. Crunchhh!!! 'Ah shit there goes all the ninja techniques of silently escaping... you stupid soda can' so much for saving me huh? I look towards the sky and shake my head in disappointment then close my eyes, preparing myself to run. I am on my own I guess, no divine help eh??
"There she is boss, I told you she was hiding here somewhere" the same guy from before shouts. 'Run for your life Anna or you will be as good as the crushed soda can' my brain screams at me.
'Run for your life Anna I am right behind you'
"Aaahhhh!!! You cannot catch me I am faster than you" the voice of a little girl laughing joyously echoed through the house.
All of sudden there are voices inside my head of a small girl and a small boy, they sound like they are inside a tunnel. I lose focus and stop running, there are five burly dudes behind me but their faces are blurring and two headlights are coming straight towards me from the other side. Either ways I am going to die today.
'Thanks brain for betraying me at a time like this ... but why do I care I am going to die anyways...' before I could bid adios to my stupid brain and before the guys could reach me, the car hit me and I skid across the asphalt. 'What a way to die' these are the last thoughts in my brain before everything goes black.
