A short story I wrote one day, hope you enjoy.

    I had blood on my hands and I could sense my breath getting lower and more shallow. I was running on my wrangled legs that were sore and bleeding form the excrutiating pain. Hours go by and I’m still running but away from what? My hands are stained red from the blood of my friends and family; how could this happen? I hear my own heart beating in my chest like drums. I could picture them now, a little drummer boy, dancing to the beat. Thud, thud, thud. My sky blue eyes, I could feel them, were swelling up in a rage of salt water and were bloodshot beyond anything I could even picture. Where was I? Who was I? All I wanted to do was go back and see them, but I couldn’t. All that filled my ears were sirens in the distance and the faint pitter patter of my red and blue sneakers hitting the pavement.

All I saw when I took a gander was a dumpster, three doors, a long stretch of alleyway, and a great, big, leather chair. I pondered to myself for a moment and just imagined how nice it would be to pu tmy feet up in that chair. To my recent luck, of course, I had no time. I could here dogs in teh distance and peoples voices lingering in the air. I wanted to yell at the dogs and tell them they were just mongrols and to shut up; then to plead with them and tell them I’d bring them the best kibble they’re doggie taste buds had ever encounterd, just to be quiet for a bit longer. I thought to myself, however, it had been 3 days on the run and they still had not caught me. I suddenly shouted at the air,
