      `Owwww,’ Ok, ok, I’m alive; that’s good news. Although I did land pretty hard on my glutinous maximus when I landed. I have absolutely no idea where I am and I cannot ask anyone for information. Oh crud. “MMMMMHMMMMMMHMMMM!” Ok, got that out of my system. I have been waiting for that for eight years.

     The moon looks beautiful tonight. It is full and dazzling. I look above me to see a large man in all black shouting above me. `That is the controlling operator! You know what to do.’  So I did what any pissed off teen would do and flipped him off- twice. `That’s not what I meant, Rachel.’  Ok, then what should I do? You’re the smartest one here. `One, I am you so don’t say that. Two, get out of this dang dumpster and run like hell because he is going to either follow you or alert security.’ Oh.

        I stood up in the grotesque bin and could see over the edge of the giant tin contraption. That’s good. Ok swing over on three. One… Two… Three! I raised my leg as high as it will go and to my surprise, I am very flexible. In almost no time at all, I was sitting on the edge of the bin looking down at the five foot fall to the pavement. `Pffft. You just jumped out of a third story window. Just go already.’  I looked down; then back up. I could see the gargantuan man was not there anymore. `Rachel, I hate to tell you but it is now or never.’  I could see that the man was running through the lot to get to the security tower. This is my last chance.

        I jumped off the bin and to the ground. Then made a break for it. The exit was approximately one- hundred feet away. I noticed in my peripheral vision that the man had reached the security tower. Ugh. The gates were now about fifty feet away. I am surprised I can run this fast. `Never mind that. Just keep going. No time to think. RUN!’  I followed my own advice and continued through the lot. Twenty feet to go.

        I continued my haste; Ten feet; the gates were closing fast. Everything seemed to go in slow motion. I noticed my breath was very fast; almost hyperventilating. I noticed my heart was pounding faster than it has ever in my life. I noticed the big man was screaming at the control tower operator. I noticed the gates in front of me with only a small gap until they closed. I noticed slipping through the four inch gap. I noticed the man screaming, “DO YOU SEE THIS CRAP?? THE COUNTRY’S GREATEST WEAPON HAS ESCAPED? DON’T YOU UNDERSTAND? WE WILL NEVER WIN THIS WAR WITHOUT HER MIND! YOU HAVE MADE THE BIGGEST MISTAKE OF YOUR LIFE! DO YOU HEAR ME? DAMMIT!” I noticed the time speed up to normal speed again.

`Rachel! You are free.’

        I kept running for as long as my legs will carry me. I kept going and going. I reached the forest and felt so free. I was running, I felt the brisk wind slice at my face. My long hair was blowing behind me. I was so free, I felt like I was flying. And then I wasn’t flying. I fell to the ground and the last thing I remembered was the taste of dirt. Then it was black. Always black. Always darkness.
