Cinna
The moon was full, fragmenting through the spiderweb cracks in the
windows, casting the room in light that made it hard to find shadows to hide
in.

--- --- --- --- ---
I slumped down the wall, the chill creeping in through the stone,
seeping into my bones, making the sweat—or was it blood?—on my skin
cool, dragging a shiver out of me.
My breath was coming in ragged gasps.
I couldn’t keep moving.
My lungs were on fire.
I needed a minute, just one, to bring some calm to the chaos in my body.
Even as I sucked in a greedy breath full of dust, exhaust, and the acrid
scent of vomit, I heard it.
Heard them.
Footsteps.
Making their way in my direction.
Some part of me, a weak, pathetic part I thought I’d killed off years ago,
simply wanted to give into the screaming in my ribs, the pain
jackhammering in my skull, the throbbing ache in my arm, and the swirling
exhaustion in my head, to slide all the way to the ground, let them find me,
and just finish this.
My chin dipped toward my chest, eyes drifting closed, but I clawed my
way back toward consciousness.
I had one singular goal here.
Survival.
I couldn’t afford to give in to the pain assaulting me with each
movement, with each breath.
I had to keep moving.
Gritting my teeth against the way pain seared up my side as I stood, I
turned and started to move again.
My steps were silent after kicking off my boots three rooms, two ripped
socks, and two bloody soles ago.
This building, whatever it had once been, was clearly now a hangout
spot for kids or junkies, the ground littered with broken beer bottles that
sliced into my feet as I kept forcing my way across the room.
I tried not to think about what else might be littering the ground—used
condoms, spent needles, piss, or that vomit scent that was getting stronger
as I moved across the open space.
There would be time to worry about my injuries and infection later.
Right now, I had to move.
“Come out, come out, wherever you aaaare!” a sing-song voice taunted,
making my stomach flip and my adrenaline surge.
