She had forgotten why she was running.All she knew was that she could not stop.If she stopped,she would lose.It was a race where there were only two places.First and last.

Distance.Every instinct told her to keep running,keep going so that was distance between her and....where she had been.

She was wet,for the rain was pounding hard,but she no longer jumped at the boom of thunder.Flashes of lightning didn't make her tremble.The dark wasn't what frightened her.She was long past fear of such simple things as the spread of darkness or the violence of of the storm.What she feared wasn't clear any longer,only the fear itself.
Fear,the only emotion she understood,crawled inside her,settling there as if she had known nothing else.It was enough to keep her stumbling along the side of the road when her body screamed to lie down in a warm,dry place.
She didn't know where she was.She didn't know where she had been.There was no memory of the whipping trees.The crash and power of the sea close by meant nothing,nor did the scent of the rain drenched flowers she crushed underfoot as she fled along the side of a road she didn't know.
She was weeping,but unaware of it.Sobs cracked her,clawing at the fear,doubting it so that it sprinted through her in the absence of everything else.Her mind was so clouded,her legs so unsteady.It would be easy to simply curl up under one of those trees and give up

Something pushed her on .Not just fear,not just confusion.Strength_though one wouldn't guess it to look at her,though she herself didn't recognize it_drove her beyond endurance.She wouldn't go back to where she had been,so there was no place to go but on .

How long she had been running wasn't important.She had no idea whether it had been one mile or ten.Rain and tears blinded her.The lights were nearly on her before she saw them.

Panicked,like a rabbit caught in the beams,she froze.They had found her.They had come after her.

They.

The horn blasted,tires squealed.Submitting at last,she crumpled onto the road,unconscious..
