Ficlets

Run

I’m running,
Hoping they won’t catch me.

Running down this path,
Away from all my thoughts and feelings.

They confuse me,
I run the wrong way, take a wrong turn.

Just keep running,
If I keep going it won’t matter.

If I get away from it,
I will finally find the silence I desire.

I trip and fall to my hands and knees,
They surround me, drag me down.

Farther and farther I sink,
Into the abyss.

Down, down, down
And I’m gone.
