Ok so I don't think I've told ya'll I like to write stories. This is a preview of one I'm working on, let me know what you think!

I ran. I ran faster than I ever thought I could. Every fiber in my being was screaming at me to stop, to slow down, but I knew that the moment I did, it would be the last thing that ever happened to me. If I stopped, I would die.
I panted, gulping in huge breaths of air. My throat felt like it was on fire. I would focus on a tree, see how slow I was going, and speed up. I focused on one specific tree, and seeing how slow I was going, cried to myself, speed up, Speed Up, SPEED UP! I watched the blur of trees going by. I felt hot tears spring to my eyes and let them slowly roll down my cheeks. I couldn’t see, except for blurs of green foliage passing my line of vision. It was about to get me, but it couldn’t. I couldn’t let it. SPEED UP! I was crying hard now, but I willed myself to push harder. Just go! I told my body, GO! At that moment, I tripped over a root and fell. Hard.
