Running

Yet another short story about making choices and living with the aftermath.

By Matthew freibergPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

I’m running through a flurry of flakes I don’t know what exactly I'm running from

The past?

The future?

Or maybe it’s myself...

I can’t seem to get ahead, You know what they say, 2 steps forward 1 step back.

The furious dots of white hit me in the face and with each one my feet grew heavier and heavier. I stumble and suddenly I’m engulfed in a cold embrace.

I feel the sweat that’s built up underneath my clothing start to freeze and panic sets in

Why did I do this!

Why would I try this!

When suddenly I see a pair of lights coming from in front of me.

Hope starts to flood my limbs

Gaining strength I push myself up screaming.

I run towards the globe of yellow.

They creepy closer and closer when all of a sudden they are upon me!

And I’m lying, once again, in the snow.

With crimson flowing around me this time, my limbs twisted and broken, my insides, not frozen, but locked in spasms. The yellow lights that filled me with hope, now turn red with an Aura of betrayal.

Why does it seem, everything I trust, ends killing me?
