Day 24

I was tried and nearly defeated, but I wasn’t going to let my captor win.

I dragged leaden legs up an endless flight of stairs, and spat blood onto the sterile flags on the floor.

I shoved the door ahead of me open, and was blinded by too brilliant daylight. 

I breathed fresh air for what seemed like days, and hurtled my exhausted body out of the door and fell weakly to the earth.

I wanted to run for home, but I desperately needed to rest.

Just a moment of rest, and I’d be off again…
