EXTRACT: Then a loud bang, followed by two muffled pops. And then I knew. The feeling was gone, the tingling stopped but my heart still fast... and then I ran. Before I knew what my legs were doing. Running. Faster than I have ever run. Straight through the buildings. I didn't know where I was going. Corridors and running. I didn’t know who I would see... Running, Door open. Door slam. Listening. Now I'm here. Doing something I've never done. No escape. Just my heart beating out of my chest. Just my head spinning, I’m just waiting for something to happen.
