Escape [Make Someone's Day Challenge]

It was as if somebody had cut the wires to all noise but his breath: uneven, but an anchor nevertheless. Silence otherwise.

There was nothing. Nothing but him and the run, the love of the chase. His muscles burned in an exhilarating way, and he was only partially conscious of the way the asphalt felt beneath his feet, rough and jagged.

No fear now; no, that had been replaced with pure energy and the feel of his heart crashing rhythmically against his chest. Every other thought had been diminished, like the universe had shrunk to revolve around him and the pavement beneath his feet.

And though his body fell when the bullets pierced his back, his soul was still running, flying towards the beautiful end of everything.

    This is a great continuation of the prequel. A very similar feeling, that of being singularly focused on the run. And the ending was executed brilliantly. I thoroughly enjoyed this.

    Mostly, it felt like an expansion of the first, but how you ended it tied it all together and gave it more meaning. Great job, and thanks for exposing me to a new author.
