My heart beats
No, in fact my heart pounds against my ribcage, as if trying to escape my body to leave me to die. Though, my heart is still somewhat intact.
He chases me, with aggression written all over his face.
I wonder what I had done to aggravate someone to that extent. Though, shaking my head, whilst running, as if telling myself 'focus and continue running'.
My feet striking the scorching sand with my entire will power falling to pieces, I think in my head if I should turn around to check on my pursuer or if I should look straight ahead. Instead, I look up - to see the sky- to see if there could be any type of help, sign, anything, anything at all!
I now notice my surroundings I'm in a desert. This is accursed desert was where my life would end, with it's dehydrated soil, which looked like there hadn't been a spit of rain in decades.
