"There were times when I'd run, people would pass me, and I would try so hard to pass someone—just someone—but I couldn't no matter how hard I ran; I couldn't beat my opponents. This, it's not a competition, it's not a game, yet I want to surpass something, I want to feel like I actually can win in the end." The world is a lonesome place, at least the world seen by Jared Harrison, a teen who can't seem to figure out the void that is missing within his life. He does what he has to do, he has friends to talk to, he has a family that can be there for him if he reached out—but he always feels as though something is missing. After a long night of feeling isolated, Jared makes a decision that he's never made before, a decision that he sees as the only way that he can truly escape: he's running away. Will this choice lead Jared to find what he's been yearning for? Or will his time be wasted, unable to delve beneath the surface? No matter what occurs, however, he will try his hardest to seek what he has lacked.
