Breathing. Panting. Heart beating. Harder. Legs hurting. Running. Breathing. Running. Faster. Jumping. Leaping. Running. Panting. Faster. Leaves in your face. Blurred. Mossy trees. Musky air. Humid. Chirping birds. Paws pounding the ground. Gaining. Getting louder. Getting quicker. Stumbling over sticks. Breathing. Hands slapping at the branches. Palms pulsing. Eyes watering. Running. Toes bending. Knees weakening. Falling to the ground. Rocks scraping skin. Body tumbling down. Silence.
Pain. Creeping up the body. Pushing up off the ground. Head spinning. Paws pounding. Veins pumping. Spinning. Breathing. Getting closer. Run. RUN. Running. Crying. Screaming silently. Gasping. Jumping.
Stop.
Don't look. Don't look. Don't move. Don't scream. Don't look. Maybe it will all go away.
