Paces
May 5, 2015
Twenty Paces
Sixteen Paces
I cannot move. My legs are numb and my arms are shaking. Eyes wide: deer in the headlights.
Thirteen Paces
Ten Paces
Thoughts race through my mind. My feet are glued to the floor. I’m less than thirty seconds away from my demise.
Seven Paces
Five Paces
“Run!” my head screams. I watch as he gains ground.
Two Paces
One pace
He stops short. I glare as he stares. Neither says a word. The crowd continues, oblivious.
