Malamig, that's the only thing na pumapasok sa utak ko ngayon habang tumatakbo. Di ko na napapansin yung hapdi nung mga sugat na nakukuha ko sa talim ng mga dahon o di kaya mga kahoy, ang gusto ko lang ay tumakbo ng tumakbo.

Shit, napakagandang scenario sana to kung di lang talaga ako natakbo dahil mahal ko pa buhay ko. The greeneries, the mountains and the sound of the leaves ruffling, eto yung dreamy place eh lalo na pag mahilig ka sa woods and nature. Pero but how can I enjoy it? Kung ang pumapasok lang sa utak ko is if I'd stop running, I'm dead.

I don't know what to do, tinawag ko na lahat ng santo sa kalangitan pero fuck.

I think this is just a nightmare.

*BANG*

My body tensed up, mas pinabilis ko pa ang takbo ko. I really don't know what's happening anymore. I mean we were just peacefully doing a hike dito tas voila, the next thing I knew tinututukan na ako ng baril. I thought public park to, hinuhunting na ba ako ng mga lumad?

Without any pretense, mas binilisan ko pa ang takbo ko. Di ko na pinagtuonang pansin ang nasa paligid ko basta makatago lang talaga, I don't want to die, I really don't please anyone save me.

Lord God, or kahit ano mang diyos jan. Please save me, God please save me.

Isang saglit lang naman akong di nakasunod sa mga kasama ko, but the next thing I knew. People with horses plus guns are now chasing me.

I don't know how to handle this situation God please.

*BANG*

"KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAH"

Maybe dahil sa kabang nararamdaman ko but all of that fear bottled up inside me exploded. Shit I'm going to die, that's the only thing in my mind right now. Sa lakas ba naman ng sigaw ko di pa nila nadinig yon.

Napupuno na ng takot ang sistema ko while pinapakiramdaman ang paligid ko. Crying and hopeless, nakahiga sa lupa at handa ng tanggapin na mamamatay na talaga ata ako. I don't wanna die.

I really don't but shit, ganito ba talaga ako mamamatay? I'm not ready yet please, I'm not ready.

Pero kahit ano pamang masabi ko or kahit ano mang dasal ko, it doesn't change the fact that I can now see the shadow of the person who would take my life.

With tears running down my cheek, ipinikit ko ang mga mata ko as I heard the footsteps stop beside me, and his gun clicked as if it was ready to fire anytime.

Ma, Pa, Sorry.

*BANG*
