Pulse

Old Friend

'Kick pebbles away from others'

'Hold your fire'

'The river will flood, but it will always go back to normal'

I walked in zig zagged lines trying to think. "Why?" I said aloud.

The sun was rising. 'They never bothered me during the day.' I thought to myself.

"All by myself!" I hummed.

Man was I lonely. It had been a day and a half since I left Molly. "She's probably gone." I whispered, hating myself for saying that. I looked up and saw birds flying ahead. I admire the way they get to carry on, acting like nothing happened. In a way I envied them.

"I'm like a bir-ird. I only fly away-ay. I don't know where my home is." I sang alound.

*SNAP*

I twisted my head in the direction it came from. Screams erupted from the woods ahead.

"DAMN!" I knew I 'had' to help. My daddy always said, 'Help those in need, for they will return the favor.'

I raced through the woods, hoping I'd make it in time. "HELP!" a girls voice called out. "I'm coming!" I yelled.

I came in time to see a girl getting pinned down. I aimed right for the fuckers head. "Ah!" the girl screetched. 'Did I shoot her?!' was all that played through my mind. Pure terror rushing through my veins.
