As she stopped to catch her breath, she looked back seeing no one which was strange because 56 people had entered the race yet only she was left. Perhaps she had lost the race and not realized, maybe even taken a wrong turn. She looked all around her but there was no one not even fans of the participants. She started to walk back the way she came, there was not a single sound around her. 'No birds?' she thought 'How strange'. Usually the village was a noisy place filled with laughter and the sound of nature, But all that's here is silence. She walked up the hill expecting to see her happy village in front of her but instead she saw nothing. She looked the other way thinking the path she took here had to lead somewhere. But when she looked the path was gone, not a single pebble still on the ground. Suddenly a blast of wind sent her off her feet and tumbling down the hill.All Rights Reserved
