The bright lights flood the courtyard behind me. An intimidating voice shouts over the loudspeaker, "LOCKDOWN! WE ARE IN LOCKDOWN MODE! EVERYONE BACK TO THEIR DORMS! LOCKDOWN!..." I run through the field away from the noise, away from the light, away from the institution, into the wild. The wind picks up as I run, and the sound of a helicopter echoes through the open space. The spotlight searching around for someone, the one who escaped... Me. Gunshots from the institution fire in my direction. They hit the ground around me with impenetrable force, throwing chunks of dirt in the air at impact with the ground. I'm am out of breath when I reach the forest edge. I scramble up the second tallest tree around. I am safe... For now.

I have never felt so close and yet so far away from anything before. I could hear people yelling, they noticed I was gone. I have been locked up for so long I forgot what the forest felt like. Full of life and green. By the time someone notices they are heading the wrong way, it will be too late. My plan was to escape, run south for a bit, then circle back to my prison. As soon as they followed the scent south, I would run north. I could hear a river north, so I would run to the river then wade up stream so the scent would be lost. Find somewhere safe to cross, then take off, continuing north. My heart is pounding so hard I am afraid my captures could hear it and ruin the whole plan.
