Running

I grew like the others. I talked liked the others. I dressed and shopped like the others. I drank and ate like.all the others... Yet...

I could not think like the others.

If one tells me they like me... They all must like me. No one has an opinion to them... But... I think the opposite.

I don't green tea, as many had said they do. I don't like raspberries, they're too sour for me.

I am not like them... I see the world as it is. It is dark... Cold... And gray... No color, no laughter, no one ever smiles.

I smile... I laugh... I see color outside the fences. But only sometimes.

I know what happens to those who want to escape. To those who talk or act differently.

I want freedom. They... No we all want it... We just don't know how to get it.

"Help!" Someone screamed.

Looking over to my right, I saw a woman a bit younger than me, run. Behind her was a drone. A drone that is to kill them.

She called for help, but no one heard. Only thr children, whi screamed for her to hide.

I couldn't stand by! I was an adult for heaven's sake! I need to learn to protect people!

Taking of my heels and stupid blazer, I ran to the fence climbing it with ease. When I dropped, I fell on the light weight drone. It broke instantly, dropping me to the floor below.

"Follow!" I commanded of her, running into the dark gray forest.

Glancing behind me, I saw a few more drones, bigger ones.

I grabbed the other woman's hand and ran faster. Me and her giggled at this. I didn't know why, but I felt as though I was flying! I felt as though I could do anything!

Looking back at the girl, we laughed. Not caring any more, not even worried that we could die!

We just laughed and ran faster. When we saw the cliff, we ran faster to get a better jump. 

The leaves and branches slapped us in the face as we ran. We brushed them aside as fast as possible until we jumped. 

The wind stopped flowing, everything was silent as we flew across the sky. We were the beings that flew. 

We weren't adults anymore, nor were we kids. We were teens again. Careless, but cautions. 

We will never know the differance as we age less and less. Until...
