Just a little idea that popped into my head based on a lovely picture I saw on deiviantart. Somewhat of a drabble, but I couldn't keep it to a 100 words..
Hope you enjoy!
Faith panted as she pumped her arms, forcing her legs to go faster. She grunted, hauling herself up onto a ledge before continuing her sprint. Tuck, roll, jump, she executed these movements effortlessly. She possessed a certain grace that a ballerina could only aspire to achieve. She paused at the edge of a rooftop and decided that she could afford to take a short break. She crouched down, shifting until she was seated comfortably on it.
She kicked her legs idly, observing the shimmering lights on the mirror-plated buildings. Faith smiled wryly at her reflection, she stuck out like a sore thumb amongst the clean lines of the city, but she didn't care. She, along with the other runners, were the turncoats of this perfect dystopia some called home. She's been running all her life, and she'd continue to run until the next. She wasn't going to stop, she was never going to conform. Not until she made sure that the dirt, the humanity, and the colour were brought back to this city.
Faith stood, a small smile playing on her face, the fire in her eyes burning even brighter. She spared the scene behind her one last glance before taking off into the night once more. She relished the wind in her hair, the adrenaline, the flow… and so she ran.
