Running

She was running. She was running so fast everything around her was a blurr. She could feel her legs, moving faster than humans were supposed to. But she didn’t care. She just had to get out. Leave.

But where do you go when there is no one there? No one left, no one who stayed to wait for you? She was all alone, and no one can help her. The goverment was sinking, falling under a much more powerful movement. It finally looked like her beloved USA was losing. Her father’s country, the one he was supposed to be president of. The whole building was empty. Either they had evacuated, or they were captured. Either way, she had to get out of there.

So where was she now? She had no idea, she kept running. All around her people were yelling and screaming and cars colliding. It was chaos. Smoke was billowing up everywhere. The sky was gray, everything was gray. But she kept running until the sounds became distant, and the trees came nearer. And suddenly she was running through them. But still, she didn’t stop.
