Keep Running

She was at my feet in the car trying to be invisible. trying her best but it was useless they already saw her and they were swarming. by they I meant Dracs.

Evil minions that work for Better Living Industries. they scare the crap out of you with their fierce masks to cover their cowardly faces. they were killjoys that gave up and left the desert for the fake-ness that is battery city. and for that I have no problem shooting them straight through the skull. I lay my hand on her head to keep her down in the seat for safety. I needed to keep her safe. I pressed my foot on the gas till it hit the floor. we flew through the deserts at warped speed. yet Dracs and Scarecrows not far behind. I felt the wind whipping my hair back. I'm running out of desert to go tthrough. I see a thin mountain up ahead. We were ahead and I started driving on the side of the slope leading up to the mountain. they started shooting. pew,pew, whipping past my head. I duck as low as possible keeping a hand on the wheel. pew then one startling pop. the car goes out of control. it races to one side then jerks to the other. I slam on the breaks. I guess they blew out one of my tires. I grab Girls hand and we run from the broken car, up the dusty mountain. it's very steep and sandy, we slip and stumble over hidden rocks. the dracs very close behind. "get them!" I hear the scarecrows yell. I push Girl in front of me and we run. pew pew. I start to see red. red everywhere. but I barely feel the pain. I ignore the slow pain and red splatters. I push Girl in front of me, she keeps stumbling in the sand. pew. it takes me down this time. pain shooting through out my body. it seems that they hit my leg. I lay on the ground Girl looking worried and scared In front of me. the diner can't be far. I try to stand its hard but the adrenaline is covering the pain up but my legs still feel unstable. I run a few paces but then fall again. I know the dracs are right behind us now. i look back seeing their scary faces coming up the sand dune. I look at Girl and through gritted teeth I say,"keep running." she looks at me scared to the depths of her imagination and races up the mountain to the other side. I hope the killjoys help her. the world depends on her. I rest my head on the sand, never able to catch my breath. my eyelids getting heavier and heavier. I'm ready, I'm ready for a rest. I feel the dracs gather around for my death. pointing guns at my still body. "well, that took a lot." says a scarecrow. They don't do anything. just stand there and stare at me. I don't care. I'm ready to die. "take her to the vans." Says a dark gritty voice. on command hands take hold of my waist and arms. I no longer have feeling in my arms or limbs, only a longing cold. a numb from the unknown. I close my eyes and fall into a eternal bliss at last. I wonder what the afterlife is like?
