She ran as fast as she could. She couldn't remember how long she had
been running for, or what direction she was going in anymore. He had hurt
her for the last time, she was sure of that. No more. She turned another
corner and ran down the street it lead to. Her blood was pounding in her
ears, and her breath was coming in short, painful, gasps. Turning another
corner she raced down another street. Where was she? Everything looked
the same, New York could be a maze if you don't know your way. She had
been twisting and turning through the city for what felt like hours, never
stopping. She know she could not run forever. Her body would give out
eventually. Still she kept running. As she turned into yet another
nondescript alleyway she stumbled over some old crates, but quickly
regained her footing. She couldn't stop, he would find her if she did.
She could never stop.
