An Ally | A 100 Word Story

#717 - Return to Nowhere Island

I’m running through what must be woods. A forest? I’m not really sure. My heart is pounding in my ears as I’m struggling to catch my breath. Terrified to stop. Something is following me. Watching me?

I skid to a stop and circle back around to hide behind a large tree and try the best I can to stop my heavy breathing.

I can see someone approaching, their hands raised in surrender. “I’m not here to hurt you. I’m being chased just like you.”

Finally! An ally! I step out from hiding and he shoots me in the chest.
