He’s close enough now that I can hear his footfall on the pavement, and I knowmy chances of outrunning him are slim. I’m practically in a full sprint, and my pounding heart is begging me to take it down a notch. I try to will my feet to keep pace with its beat; but I think it’s humanly impossible to run that fast. And then it dawns on me that my footsteps are the only ones I hear. Somewhere along the way, Tristan’s must have come to a stop. And I can’t quite explain why I’m running this fast in the first place. I slow to a jog, intending to just pick up with my original pace; but I can’t seem to suck in breaths fast enough to propel my feet any further. My molten shoes stutter to a stop, as my hands come to rest on my knees. I’m stillwheezily sucking in breath after breath of thick, humid air, when I warily turn to look over my shoulder. Tristan’s standing about fifty feet back, hands on his hips and a comp. M.A. George

His heart sank as he turned into one of the many alleys he had frequented in order to get away from her for an hour or two.  As luck would have it, he was too late in reaching his destination…and she was close enough now that he could hear her footsteps on the street, and he knew his chances of outrunning her were slim. He was practically sprinting down the alley, and his beating heart begged him not to take it down a notch; but he thought it was physically impossible to run that fast.  And then it dawned on him that she had stopped running…and he couldn’t quite explain why he was running this fast in the first place.  He slowed down considerably…but then had no choice but to stop completely when his lungs began seizing up for lack of oxygen.  He was still wheezily sucking in breath after breath of thick, humid air, when he warily turned around and looked over his shoulder at her standing about fifty feet backâ€
