Endure And Survive

I let a breath out once I see tree's pass by me, knowing I was a little safer now I was in the forest.
I didn't stop running though, my feet wouldn't let me stop.

The adrenaline taking over my body as I try to listen for footsteps behind me but yet I hear nothing.

Keep going. Keep going.

I can feel my lungs starting to object, pushing harder to keep me running as my through feels like it's getting smaller by each second.

I see a large tree trunk coming up, so I slow my pace a little to prepare for a quick stop so I could catch my breath.
I turn my head quickly to see nothing but trees and grass behind me, no one following.

I take this chance to hide myself behind the large tree, my back leaning against the hard bark of the trunk. I can still feel the glass in my hands as I look down to see blood dripping over my fingers.

I sigh in frustration as I let my head drop back against the tree, looking up at the blue sky above.

Then I hear it.

The unmistakable sound of a gun clicking a bullet into the chamber.... right next to my temple.

Slowly I let my eyes shift, then my head... I hold my breath as i finally look beside me....... I'm staring down the barrel of a gun.

I look past the gun to see a woman.... the first thing I notice is her eyes.... her green eyes. Then her freckles and the slit in her right eyebrow from what looks to be a scar.

Then I notice the expression on her face.... Confusion and shock.

I feel my hands tremble as I stare at her, waiting for her to pull the trigger and take my life away from me.... "Please just make it quick" I whisper in a small voice, watching as the eyebrows crease slightly.

I close my eyes and hold my breath, waiting for the impact...

And then she pulls the trigger.
