Chapter 8
Tuesday ran as hard and as fast as her legs would carry her. She wanted to get as far away from the Lodging House and Spot as she could, away from the pain and agony that trailed her, away form the heartbreak that she had found. Rain poured from over her head, soaking Tuesday head to toe, the thunder rolled across the sky.
Tuesday found herself running up and down the deserted streets, her boots becoming soaked from the muddy puddles. Tuesday's hair had come undone a while back and was now stuck to the sides of her face. A flash of lightening streaked across the sky and hit the ground somewhere near her. Startled, Tuesday turned to run a different way when of her boots slipped across the pavement and she fell hitting the ground hard on her side.
The wind had been knocked out of her and Tuesday gasped for air as she stood up and glanced around her, looking for shelter. All the doors and windows to the houses around her were shut and bolted shut. Tuesday's heart pounded within her chest. Nothing. Nothing. Then suddenly something caught the corner of her eye, and alleyway.
Tuesday ran with what strength she had left to the alley that luckily was sheltered from the rain by the roofs of the two houses that stuck out and almost touched one another. Tuesday managed to make it to the alley with the last of her energy and collapsed into the darkness beneath her own little haven.
