Title: To Run
Challenge/Prompt: #16 Rain
Original Fiction
Rating: PG
Author's Notes: This all came from my own head. I don't know who any of the characters are yet.

Too slick to run.

She tells herself that a couple of times, each time looking over her shoulder. The three following her, all in identical tan dusters, continue getting closer despite the downpour.

Splash, splash. A small car cuts her off for a moment before she takes off down the alleyway, in the first direction that comes to her mind. It's all she can do not to stumble, not to fall down. If she falls, she tells herself, they'll get her.

There are three of them to one of her, but the weather at least is on her side.

Sometimes just spinning it out and discovering it along the way is thebest, most fun way to write. It's good.

I think so too, much of the time. The settling likes to write itself, illustrate the best and most effective ways for using it. And the characters all speak clearer that way.
