Sweet Escape
Twigs snapped underneath Simone's feet as she ran through the forest barefoot. Her feet hurt from running over the uneven soil covered by branches and leaves. Her feet were terribly bruised and red from blood. Her breathing was heavy and fast.
She felt cold. She was just wearing her blue dress and a white lab coat she snatched on the way out. She wasn't appropriately clothed for the cold autumn evening's weather.
She felt lonely. How long had it been since she last saw a human being? A human besides those monsters? A normal human?
She felt tired. Tired from running. She couldn't remember for how long she'd been running. To her, it seemed like ages. She couldn't stop. She knew they were somewhere behind her. She couldn't give up. Not yet. She just had to run, non-stop, in a single direction, hoping she would reach human civilization.
Far ahead Simone noticed the end of the forest. Lights appeared, shimmering in the night. A village? Or a small town? Simone kept running, avoiding the roots of trees sticking out of the ground.
In front of her was the light of faint lanterns illuminating what seemed to look like a garbage dump. Simone jumped over the ditch, separating the forest from the human world. She continued running over the cold stone floor.
There was a figure standing near one of the buildings. A man? She ran towards him. When she was close enough, Simone stumbled deliberately and she let herself fall into the arms of the stranger.
She finally made it. She was finally saved.
