Brief Excerpt 250 words:
I could hear footsteps behind me as I ran down the cobblestone street. It was narrow and dark and I knew I had to get to where there were some people. My chasers were closer now, their footsteps echoing off the walls and I didn’t know if I could keep going for much longer. My breathing was coming in heavy gasps and my chest was burning. At my age, I was not used to running. Surely there were people around somewhere, it wasn’t very late. I had to find help, or somewhere I could hide.
Everything was closed; there didn’t seem to be anyone around. I turned a corner and flew up a flight of steps to the next street, where I could see street lights throwing their welcoming light. The men were not far behind. I had no idea who these men were or why they were chasing me. Did they want to kill me, or only to frighten me? I didn’t know – but I wasn’t slowing down to find out. I felt real fear enveloping me. In fact, I was terrified. I had to keep running.
I saw people lying in the street up ahead. Why were they lying in the street? Were they dead? As I came closer, a few heads popped up, but nobody moved to stand up or to help me. Why was no-one trying to help me? They stared at me with eyes that didn’t see and turned away. I ran past them, they couldn’t, or wouldn’t, help me. I kept running; down another cobbled alleyway, around another corner. I had a stitch in my side now and I was gasping for breath. How much longer could I outrun them?
