Enchantress's blog: "misunderstanding"

Running through the forest, 

Something is chasing me, 

Heart pounding inside my chest, 

Frantically looking around,

Scrambling up the mounds that block my way,

Clawing over logs, 

The sounds of falling footsteps coming ever closer,

Catching up no matter how fast I run, 

Looking for a place to hide, 

Ever searching, Finding a hole I might be able to slide into, 

Don't have time, 

They're right behind me, 

Find a tree I can climb, 

Jump up to grab the first branch, 

Swinging legs up just in time, 

The man below jumping to grab me as I climb ever higher, 

Cornered, 

Cannot climb higher, 

Him gaining fast, 

Not wanting to be caught I climb precariously higher,

Putting weight on a branch that wasn't able to hold it, 

Falling through the tree smacking branches on the way down, 

Feeling bones snap as branches do, 

Landing broken at the base of the tree, 

Unable to move, 

Adreneline rushing, 

Heart beating, 

Caught.
