All I can feel.

Pain.

Terror.

Instantaneous regret.

Blood pumping through my veins at an alarming rate.

I feel my feet slapping the damp, uneven floor beneath me as I run, losing myself in the blackness of the forest.

I feel my heart racing, aching with each beat, as I propel my body forward like a bat out of hell. The ferns and thorns whipping cruelty at my calfs.

RUN RUN RUN RUN RUN RUN

I run. I run like I never have before. Unless I get my shit together now, this may be my last chance to do so. I don't know where I'm going- but I go. I feel tears sting at my eyes, the fear returning to me as does the violent pain pulsing through my shoulder and soaks my shirt red. 

RUN RUN RUN RUN RUN RUN

Tears start to escape my eyes. The word holds no meaning anymore. Just a sound reverberating around my skull, each ragged sob rips through my chest and burns my throat. Even if I can no longer hear it.

RUN RUN RUN RUN RUN RUN 

I draw ragged breaths, pulling in short heavy gasps of frozen night air to fuel my burning muscles. They feel so heavy. Like iron.
I can even taste it in my mouth.

RUN RUN RUN RUN RUN RUN

My feet pound dirt.
And then I fall.

RUN RUN RUN RUN RUN RUN

Still, the constant onslaught of noise won't give up as easily as my body has. Even as the cold of the mud caking my skin sets in, my brain will not be frozen. If anything it gets louder.

I continue to weep, so sure that this was the end. So sure I was about to die.

'But it is still yet to begin.'

I freeze. Unable to move.
Was that me?...Did I think that?
It wasn't so much a voice, but a thought. Forced forward in my mind by what, I do not know- but I notice, then, it has brought with it silence.
No noises in my head.
No noises of my assailant.
No noises.

Peace.

And as my body starts to loose feeling, the pain becoming no more than a freezing ache, it plays out before me like a bad dream.

I see the blood. I see them. And him.
I hear my own splitting screams, and the sickening sound of knife vs flesh.

I can see him, blurred only by the tears in my eyes. His face one of agony and terror. His outstretched hand.

And I hear him say it.

"RUN."
