Heidi, I want more of this

This is straight action--a move away from the introspection (which is awesome and I think you should continue with, but this is an interesting divergence). Let's see where it takes you, ok? Was this stream of consciousness? Give me more!

 

Escape

9/24

I'm running, my feet pounding against the slippery asphalt, my foot steps like the sounding of a military bass drum.  


I have to get out of this town, out of this city with the smog induced mist, the starless night, the burning sun, and the acid rain that is falling now.


Wincing, I cover my ears with my hands, trying to shut out the ringing dissonance of clashing values and clashing lifestyles.  


For a long time, I stayed here trying to learn about others, to keep myself open, but feeling myself being pulled between two opposite directions and being suspended between two worlds, feeling the seismic friction as they slide and collide, I know I will be destroyed if I stay any longer.


And though I didn't stop to see your face, though we just met, I can feel the sadness, the hurt, and the confusion written on your face.  


I say silently that I am sorry, but we both know it would have never worked.

 

Slipping, I stumble and bust my knee.  Getting up, standing, and charging forward, I ignore the traces of blood or the aching pain.  Such is a small price for freedom and for truth.

Thank you. It was more like a spur of the moment thing I did in a word processor which I decided to put on my page, anyways. In any case, I am guessing you want to see more of this style as the piece, while I could come up with some back story or real plot to it, was a piece of flash fiction, if I can even call it that. I would like to do more narrative like this, but more fleshed out, if that's along the lines of something you would want to see more of seeing as I am getting bored of the same old same old, myself.
