Burnt prologue
CRACK!! Run dirty building dark alley adrenaline spike. Run. Run. Run. Gunshots. Closer. Bright crowds many cars dense pack of shoppers. Can't go through,need to go through. Catching up. move you stupid people!! Catching up. Thick black hair green eyes. Daniel. Too fast strong cruel. Jagged pain. Daniel. black boots ragged jeans simple t-shirt. All my fault, all my fault.
Hurry. Police coming up. evil blue caps, horrid batons i used to trust. leering grins hard cruel eyes. running turn left blocked run trip panic look back forward not safe screaming masses pressing in. Zigzag line of pain down chestblood runs down neck can't feel the pain heart is missing. Emotional patchwork of bromen pieces held together by one hope. 100 more steps.
soudlessly watch as bullet flies by.
Red drips down his chest don't die don't die.
Pound.
Pound.
Pound.
One foot over the other. Almost there. they catch me. it does't matter. I collapse. Screaming in pain. Wake up. Wake up. Black surrounds me, can't fight it anymore. Don't know how to help him. Wake up.
Wake.
Up.
