Sudden stop

Set lose in the woods get ready to run. Take off as fast as your legs will allow you to run. Its freezing so get ready for it to be hard to breath. Running I can feel the leaves and branches crunch beneath my shoes. Running faster my heart starts to beat faster in my chest almost like its about to burst within. The muscles through out my whole feel like they are being ripped in every which direction.
No matter how much pain I feel I can’t stop running. There is somewhere I must be, even though I don’t know where I’m heading to. I’ve been running for so long now I’m forgetting why I started running in the first place. It started out just for a little while to days to months to now a year.
Where does the brake come in and I can stop and head back home? Is there anyone to talk to stop this marathon? The days seemed to have gone by so fast….

A sudden stop where did it come? All the sudden I wasn’t running any longer. It didn’t make sense but I could finally try and catch my breath. I could allow my body to relax. My muscles twitched from being able to relax. I layed down on the cool ground and enjoyed the view of the sky for once. Someone stands over top of me with on smile o their face, "baby don’t worry I’ll carry you home. You look worn out." He bent down and picked me up in his arms. Holding me close to his chest he started to walk. I didn’t care where we were walking to, my eyes drifted shut and I layed in his arms wrapped in my dreams..
