Run
Run. The thought echoes in his head like a constant banging of a drum.
He does what his instincts tell him, never pausing for breath. Because there's that miniscule sliver of a chance that he could still escape this tangled web of treacherous lies.
He quickens his pace just in case.
He runs towards it – all of it – to save his sister. Just to save her, he tells resolutely himself.
He didn't really like ice-skating that much, anyway.
Now that he thinks about it, he never knew if he was running toward or away.
Not that that makes any difference, the little hero realizes as he treks up the tumultuous path of life.
He's doomed either way.
