Face Him, Her, It
I close my eyes.
I see my family...my friends
I'm as happy as can be.
Run!
An unsettling feeling washes over me, and I cry out.
My eyes are open now, but there is no one around me.
Run!
I'm afraid.
Of what? I don't know.
But I have to...
Run!
I move so fast.
Everythings a blur.
I forget my shoes.
My feet bleed, but I can't stop.
Run!
I fall.
Just like that, I am bound to the ground.
I can't move.
Run!
I can't run. Something has me.
I shed tears but that's all I do.
Run!
I'm free.
No, wait it's still here.
Run!
Please Stop!
Run!
No enough!
I am done running.
I turn.
I face him, her, it.
It cowers.
I have the power.
Now it's they're turn to run.
