her shoes hit the brick alley way. her body slamming into the cold dense walls. her arms flail out in helpless motions.

faster
faster

a quick turn into the forest deepens into a hole of regret. branches snatch at her fragile being, ruthlessly persistent.

crunch

shadows creep up from all directions. faces masked by the cold hard night.

the scream that no one hears.
