Unraveling Time

Chapter 8

       I try to keep my eyes open. But I keep fading. I need to stay awake. I have no idea if he comes when I'm asleep. I thought to myself.

      My wrists are still blood red. Hopefully he doesn't notice, with the straps covering. I feel myself slidding, so I pick myself up, and prop my self in my chair. Just yesterday...i think...I was at my job, thinking that was a bad day. Oh no. He's going to fire me!  If I even make it out alive....I think to myself. I try to think about random things to keep me awake. My stomach growls, taking care of the silence. And just like that, the door opened. Giving a low creak, as I see the same guy I keep seeing.
    
      I prepare myself. Hoping that it doesn't look like the straps look loose. He comes over, with something steaming in his hand, and places it on my lap. I look down at it, and my stomach does a big growl.
"Eat up buttercup." He says with a grin
    I don't reply, I make sure that he is right in front of me, and I use all of my energy in my right leg to kick up, hitting him right in the balls. I quickly stand up loosing my balance, but I regain it. And use all my force in my hand to punch him in the face. He fell to the ground with a grunt, suprised with what I just did. I didn't even notice the hot soup that poured all on me. I dart to the opened door, and I see lit up hallways. Oh great. I don't know where to go. I think to my self. I turn a random direction, with the small dim lights lighting the way. I keep on running, having no idea where I am. I did not think this through. My leg gives me a sharp pain, but I keep on going. Feeling adrenaline pumping in my veins. I take a another corner and a girl is right in front of me, a tattoo trickling up to her face. She hasn't seen me yet, so I hit her in the back of the head, suprised with the energy I have. And she falls to the ground.

    I keep on running, until I see a door. I try it. Of course. Locked. I run back to the girl. And fumble around in her gray jacket, until I hear a cling, I pull it out to see about 5 gold keys. I run back to the door, with my side cramping, and everything hurting but I keep on going. I try a key. No luck. It isn't until the 4th key till it finally opens. My hope rises, as I see the outside. I run, not thinking about closing the door behind me, as I see that I appear in a dark ally way, I put my pace into a fast walk, trying to find a car. To my luck, I see a little black car, with the door opened, and a drunk person about a few yards away from it. I jump into the car, and my face lights up as they keys are still attached. I start the engine, and start driving.

    I end up on the highway, with nothing really looking familiar. I look behind me to see 3 cars driving fast behind me. And I see that one of the drivers Is "That Guy" who kept on checking up on me in my jail. I start panicking, and I drive faster, as I do, they drive faster too. I pick up the speed, making me have to go around cars. As I do, I look behind me, too see if they are still behind me. But before anything happens, a sharp pain shoots through my body, as darkness covers.
