I darted into the alleyway and behind a dumpster as the sirens and the flashing blue and red lights came closer and closer. I could feel my throat close up, and I did not like the choking feeling one bit. My heart which had been racing seemed to stop as I brought my clenched hands up over my ears. I just wanted the wailing to go away and leave me in peace. I could feel myself start hyperventilating even as it felt like I wasn't getting in any air.
My head spun and the world tilted with it. It felt like I was drowning with no way of knowing where the surface was. If only I could have kept calm I would have been able to stay right here and have it all pass by until I was in the clear, but that never seemed to happen.
This was my sixth time running away and just like all the others I knew, that beyond my little room and simple routine, I would never make it. The world was too big, too open, and just too chaotic for someone like me to survive in it for very long. As darkness closed around me I opened my mouth to let out a cry of despair, knowing without a shadow of a doubt that I would wake back up in my prison.
