The Escape

I couldn't grasp the concept of being alone. But here I am in a one bedroom apartment. These walls are suffocating me. If I reach out my pale fingertips could touch the coffee stain from weeks ago. The only light that enter is was from the small bay window. I have to find a door. A way out an escape. I stood up with all the strength i had left. "If you leave she will kill you" My conscious spoke when my hand found the door knob " You can't support yourself we never been out on our own. I finally open the door the dust in the light amaze never have I seen something like this. It felt like my first step to death or freedom. After one step another then another then another till I was out of the building. I've never been outside. I was keep walking on the hot ground moving my feet quick enough so they won't burn until I saw a trail of grass. I've been walking for hours and the light is fading away. It start to turn black just like that room. I start to run trying to escape the darkness but it catches up to me. I looked back and saw to floating lights heading towards me. They were getting closer and closer until they stop right in front of me. They where so close I could reach out my hand to touch them. I looked up and there was an old women staring me. " What the hell is wrong with you why you standing there like fucking deer." I was shocked by her words. I stood up to my full height of 5'6". "I'm so s-s-sorry ma'am" she looked me up and down "well at least you got some damn manners. Why are you half naked in the cold and barefooted." I look down at my clothes I had on some raggdy shorts and a tank top. I just swayed back and forth not really wanting to answer her question. She started to walk away then she turn back around "come on child get in this damn car I know when somebody running away from something bad." I wasn't sure if I should get in the car but this was my only way away from her. I slowly walk to the car and got in. The old lady started her car " My name is Mira but you can momma I'mma take care of you from now on" I smiled at her my first smile in a long time. I had this feeling their would be many more.
