Running On Empty
*
What she misses, more than misses, yearns for with a hole in her soul, is her twenty-something year old legs.
Not the looks, God, no, they still look good; even if the skin has lost its tone, just a little more with each passing year.
No, it is the speed, the exhilaration, the pounding of feet, knees high. The outstripping of herself, the knowing that this is the fastest she can possibly go.
Until tomorrow. When she might exceed herself.
She is still fast; but it hurts, and, now, however hard she tries, each time is slower than the last.
The End.
