My hands scramble for something to grip onto, my body desperately looking for some form of stability as my lungs scream for oxygen from within.

I hear sirens sounding in the distance, bringing me a tiny rag of comfort and euphoria from thoughts of finally being able to escape. But that rag is cruelly ripped away, as the sirens continue to distance themselves from me

As the sirens get further and further away, my heart begins to beat faster and louder, periodic gunshots in my head. Sweat travels in rivers down my face, mingling with the shallow scratches etched on my skin. The burning sensation reminding me that I'm still here, still trapped in this bottomless pit of a nightmare and still on the run from him, no, not him, it. That mangled, disfigured piece of shit didn't deserve to even entertain the idea of being the same species as me.

I push my body away from the wall, my lungs thankful for the brief rest, and allow a fresh wave of adrenaline to consume me as my legs carry my unwilling body ahead. The sharp stabbing pain in my head allows for short relief from the sounds of the trailing uneven foot steps behind me.
