Kind of weird...based on a dream...work coming up shall be a short story by a good friend of mine :) enjoy!
The Race
I run forward, hurling myself into the well known rhythm. As for what compels me…that is still unknown. My legs carry me faster and faster, the knee high grass grabbing gently and tickling. The wind rushes through the leaves, a rattling percussion in my ears as I match the invisible pace, weaving through the trees.
My mind teeters precariously on the ledge of oblivion, but I do not care. The freedom, the exhilaration is impossible to even attempt to surpass. Now I know how the free stag feels like, or a wild stallion…faster, faster.
The wind rushes around me, wet and cool. I slow and stop, falling to my knees on the warmed mint earth. I close my eyes and breathe.
I savor the delightful contrast of the cool and warmth. Breathe in, breathe out. Turning my face to the sky, smiling always the wind caresses me as a loving mother. Breathe in, breathe out. I open my eyes…and I laugh.
