the beggining

"RUN! RUN! RUN!" running. running was all I ever knew. the only thing i was better then anyone else at;running. as a child i always hated running, why run when i can walk? but now that seems like the most stupidest words anyone could ever say. i don't know why i run,but the only thing i do know is someone is coming for me, there's no hiding, there's no fighting, what's left? you guessed it. running.

on one faithful day i felt confident that i would get out of the situation i'm in.the problems i'm fighting, well not fighting. running from. but today i felt like i could run so far they wouldn't ever be able to catch me. i was going to win, today was the day;until.

i was always told to never look back, but today was different, today was a good day, i heard a creeping noise behind me, "what was that?" i thought in my head,curious. "it's probably just a twig" that's the moment i looked back swiftly moving my head behind me. it was something i didn't expect. "a door?"

it's was no ordinary door though, it was the most beautiful shade of green and the vines hugging it all around gave it a rustic and almost graceful look on the eye, as i dragged my feet across the twigs and dirt drawn to the smell of mint herbs coming from the door, i glided my hand across the door, the pattern and texture was unique nothing i had ever felt before.

i was drawn to this door almost like it was made just for me. but of course that is ridiculous. someone is probably just playing a prank on me or trying to scare me when i open the door. I was about to leave it a lone and going to carry on my journey i heard the most delicate voice, almost trembling i turned my head and my body with it. it was the door. as crazy as it seemed i knew it was that door.

my hand lifted itself and placed gently on the door handle. I couldn't stop it but i didn't want too, I wanted to see what was behind this door so badly even if it was a trick. slowly my hand turning the door creaked open a small glow peaked through the small crack; now I was desperate to see what was behind here.

i clenched my left fist and pulled the handle slowly with my right. the light grew stronger and stronger and then there was a strong breeze hitting my cheek;the leaves surrounding me started to crumble. the door was wide open the only thing to do now is enter. i was scared terrified even, thoughts of running away were scattering in my mind. but today was the day i don't run.

I step one foot into the pool of light it started to swallow me whole. but i was ready. good by home, i hope i will come back soon; or not.
