Empty body

Mindless drone

Broken beyond repair

Anything but okay

I am an abyss

Vacant and never ending

Derek Corbin lost everything that night on the quiet stretch of back road. He was left alone in a cruel world that doesn’t want him. Being plagued by his own personal demons, it is difficult for Derek to trust anything or love anyone. He can’t bear to loss it all again.

One night, when the demons refuse to relent, Derek decides to run. He runs from the past. He runs from the pain. He runs from the ones who pretend to care. He runs and runs until all that is left is his shattered heart and bridge far above a rushing river.

On that bridge, Derek must either give into the demons or face the past that tortures him. With the help of some unlikely friends, can Derek find his way back to the light? After all, his only wish was to feel wanted.

This is the story of the Runaway.
