One Little Problem

"I can't run anymore! Seriously!" Kay shouted. At this point she was stumbling through the maze of vines and tree roots. "Fuck it, Kay!" I barked. This wasn't a joke anymore. We actually had something to be scared of. I looked back, about to urge Kay to move her big ass along. But Kay had reached her limits. She tripped over a tree root, promptly hit her head, and passed out. I stopped and stared for a minute, but then remembered that I had to keep moving. Kay was gone. She was over. In this world, its every person for themselves. So I kept running. I kept my eyes locked on a tall tree looming on the horizon. And that was my biggest mistake. Not setting my house on fire, not running away from home, not even failing to save Kay. My biggest mistake was not looking down. Because that fall, that one fall, was the end.
