My heart beats furiously in my chest trying to keep up with the pace I have set.
I am running as fast as I can but it is pointless.
They will catch me.
I am only delaying the inevitable, postponing my fate if you will.
I know what will happen when they catch me.
It's the same ending every time.
Still, I push my legs as fast as they will go, my body aches from the exertion.
I can hear them behind me.
They are closing in.
This is part of a twisted game.
The goal, to catch their Prey.
Me.
I am the prize for the Hunter.
I am the Hunted.
