The Running Man
The only two people in the bookstore sat close to one another in the same soft chair. Nicole, a beautiful red head with sparkling blue eyes, and Terry, a handsome young man that had fallen for Nicole with all his heart. The two lovers looked into each other's eyes for what seemed like an eternity, it still wasn't enough time though.
Even though they had both become very close and there was an unspoken bond between them, there was still a lot of tension built up when they were around each other. It was hard to be young, in love, and surrounded by strangers.
Nicole smiled at Terry with her beautiful and soft lips. Smiling back, Terry couldn't seem to make himself blink. The idea of loosing her from his sight, even if for just a moment, was unthinkable as they sat there. He final got himself to close his eyes, but only because he was leaning in for a kiss and thought it was tacky to keep them open while you did so.
Their lips grazed each other in a very quick kiss that was over as quick as it started. She giggled, he laughed, and they both blushed. After the silliness had left the environment and the sexual tension returned, they met stares again.
This look was much different than the one that had happened before. This look was supercharged and it was a mutual feeling. Terry, who could almost taste the kiss, leaned in slowly and pressed his lips to hers. It wasn't long before their tongues had left their own mouths.
Just as the kiss had gotten good, they both heard Kenneth yell with his bellowing voice. The moment was over and Terry was already up to see what was taking place on the roof. Out of the chair, down the hall, around a few corners, up the stairs, and to the roof they found everyone looking down into the street.
"Over here!" Ana yelled. "Over here, at the mall!" She yelled again.
Terry and Nicole ran to the edge of the building to see what they were all yelling at. A man in good shape with very ragged clothes was evading a large group of the monsters on the road. He looked like he had a runner build; he'd probably been in cross-country before all of this happened.
It didn't look as if he'd heard Ana and the rest of them yelling because he just kept running around in circles away from the group. He did it with a certain amount of accuracy and grace. It was almost as if he'd been doing it this entire time. Running was probably the way that he'd survived this whole time.
Michael made one last attempt at getting the man's attention. With everything that he had he yelled at him. "Over here!"
The running man heard him this time and, just for a moment, he looked up at the mall. It was in that moment that he made his first mistake. Taking his attention off of his footwork made him trip up just a bit, but it was enough.
Like a snowball going down a hill, his footwork became sloppy. He tripped over himself a few more times before the finally face planted into the pavement. The left side of his face got scrapped up, his upper body started to bleed, and he was unconscious.
"Oh no!" Ana said. Terry held Nicole close to him as she put her hands over her face. Michael watched in horror.
The group engulfed him like a wave of water. A few hours later they spotted the infamous running man walking around among the dead. Andy put on in his head and that was the end of that. He was the first and last person that they ever saw that wasn't included in their little group. That night they all had horrible nightmares about the running man.
