>running

>Just keep running, anon thought to himself

>they weren’t far behind now shouting could be heard getting closer

>”he went over there!”

Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit

>anon kept repeating to himself in a panicked voice

>he was looked around himself for a way out, all that surrounded him were tall dialect buildings

>he was breathing heavily, looking still for an exit or a place to hide, the buildings windows and doors had been blocked by planks of wood and scrap metal

>still though he needed to keep going or they would find him, he walked a bit still stressed educed and afraid up a small alley way in between the building that surrounded him

>the voices of men and dogs were still heard getting closer and closer and as they got closer and closer anon breathing got deeper and deeper

>he felt like vomiting just the thought of what they would do

Why did I do that WHY?

>Anon struggled to say to himself, he jogged he was getting weaker and losing the ability to walk and or think straight, if he did stop soon he would collapse

>he looked all around him it was dusk and getting dark quick

Oh thank fucking Christ

>a small opening, small but just big enough to crawl inside, a way out he thought or just a place to rest and hide from them

 

 

>he ran to the small opening in and pushed himself through as fast as he could and hurried himself into the corner

>the sounds of men were still heard outside, every now and then the beam of a torch would go across the hole, anon had never feared something as simple as a flash of light in his life, but if they found him... well lets just say it wouldn’t be pretty

>anon sat there and waited, he waited for them to leave and sat there looking down, crying over how his life and job was over, but it wasn’t just that he cried for what he had done all his life. Nothing... absolutely nothing

>he sat and pondered his entire existence wondering how he even got into this mess

I have a desk job why did I even try... well it doesn’t even matter now they probably already know where I live so I can’t go home my family... well I don’t even talk to them anymore why would they even want to help me after what happened

>he sat there alone in a dusty old dialect building the only light source the small hole from which he entered

I guess it’s a clear night and the moons out... god I’ve started talking to myself again

>anon stood himself up miserable and upset with his life and now on the run for a measly mistake

>he looked around himself with more interest the house in which had entered was empty all that remained was the peeling wallpaper and the stench and coldness from the damp walls

>it had been a while since he last heard anyone from outside, he was leaving hoping that they were all gone, anon walked over once again to the small hole in which he entered and squeezed himself out once again.

SMACK!

Fuck!

>he exclaimed as he missed a part of the window in which he thought he had grabbed

> He picked himself up still in slight pain from the fall

Well at least I won’t have to do that again

 

 

>once again talking to himself. He looked around himself it looked different at night so navigating his way back out would be even harder

>He began walking in what he thought was the right way, his mind still a little bit fuzzy from before

Pretty sure it was, no it was...fuck I’m lost

>he began to get worried it was now getting colder and well the preconception of a clear night was wrong as it had started to rain

Really, really? What losing everything wasn’t enough I gotta deal with this shit now!

>he pointed his middle finger to the sky in an attempt to feel better

FUCK YOU GOD. FUCK YOU!

>now anon wasn’t religious but it felt good to blame someone other than himself for once

Ugh... god fucking dammit

>he looked down at his boots drenched cold and bitter, but still he wasn’t going to give up that easily

>anon carried on walking in the downpour, he twisted and turned like a maze through the old buildings

Were in the fuck am I?

>anon kept walking he had decided to go with the plan try to keep going straight, but it was failing

>rain still poured down he was frozen and wet, he looked around himself looking for an opening

YES

 

 

>an opening at least a couple meters from him, he walked over to it quickening his pace his heart pumped harder, joy and euphoria from a simple exit from a maze of buildings, so simple but it was a great feat, he thought to himself

>he had made it he could see the outside world again the large chimneys in the distant and the city miles away in the distance, he recognized this place it was were his car was parked

Please be here PLEASE...fuck

>his car was there but it was smashed and bad the windows and bonnet were gone, and as well as it being on fire. Anon was screwed on getting out of here fast

Well now what do I do?

>anon thought to himself in a sour and low voice

>he kept staring at the burning car, his gaze left it though the light was reflecting something two eyes not a man but some sort of animal, a dog.

>growling came from the dog walking slowly towards anon as he stepped backwards away from the creature

BARK BARK BARK!

>the dog emphasised from his jaw, anon thought of way out while still walking backwards from the dog approaching

>anon knew what he had to do, he looked back into the maze of building from were he came from

 

 

>running

>once again he was running for his life accept this time from a different kind of animal

>it was harder this time the weight on him due to the water made it harder to run and the dog he could feel it getting closer, it’s growling still coming from the beast

Fuck fuck fuck

>he kept breathing repeating those same words

>he stopped the dog was no were to be seen, but the barking was still heard getting closer and closer

>he peered around himself once again. A ladder was placed upon wall barley visible due to the rain but a bloody gift from the gods

>anon ran towards it the dog now only seconds away from him, he began to climb it with all his strength

>when he reached the top of the roof he laid himself down on the wet floor rain still pouring on top of him, breathing deeply

>he sighed in relief and pulled himself up from the rooftop and walked over to the edge of the roof

>looking down over the buildings which stretched for quite a distance he could see the illumination of the city in the far distance and to the right the old factory chimneys

What a fucking day this has been huh.

>he wobbled back over to the ladder tired wet and gloomy

SMASH

>The roof caved in on its self were anon was he fell through two sets of floors screaming as he hit the first one then

SMACK

>he hit the floor his vision blurred and passed out

 

 

17 hours before the incident...

>anon in his small semi attached apartment, alone as always

>he awoke from his slumber tired and lifeless

>he picked himself up from his bed and stumbled over to the computer and switched it on

Just another day, just another day...

>he murmured to himself, before yawning

>he made himself some breakfast, a simple egg and two slices of bacon on some bread, he then walked over and pushed himself in to a chair and open up the internet as most days went, he looked up sighing in boredom

Oh shit

>anon sat up realising he had work, it was shitty pay but money was money, anon rushed over to his drawers and pulled out his uniform and rushed out of the door

>a while had passed anon had gotten into his car and drove fast to make sure he wasn’t late

>anon had arrived at his work station at his local coffee shop, late again

>oh look who finally turned up

Look sorry it won’t happen again

>yeah well that’s what you said last time didn’t you

Well...I look I’m sorry alright

>no I’m sorry that I gave you a chance to work here and yet you keep letting me down anon

Look if it’s anything I‘ll stay back tonight do some work to help you

>I don’t know, you sure you can handle being here late

Yep I’m sure

>alright, fine but I want it all locked when you finished we don’t want some fucking kids breaking in like last time now do we

No Ms Clarke, you can count on me

>good and let’s not this happen again

>anon stood there a fake smile plastered on his face as she left the room

Aaannnnnddddd gone. Fucking bitch making me work extra time not even any money added...

>anon stood there and mumbled to himself

 

 

 

Well better get to work

>hours had passed it was just about closing time, well not for anon anyway he had to work through the night sorting out paper work bills and such for the shop as well as replace all the coffee filters and etcetera, basically it was going to be a long night for anon

>anon had set up his working station at a desk in one of the backrooms and had began to sort out paper work

Ugh I’m so fucking bored!

>anon shouted looking up at the ceiling

SMASH

>the sound of a window being smashed in the front part of the shop was heard, no alarm had played due to anon being there late

Oh fuck who is...

>anon peered his head around the corner, there stood were three men in mask like the bank robbers wear

Oh wait fuck there, oh shit

>anon whispered under his breath

>fucking hell those mask make me sweat

>One of the men pulled his mask off he was a chubby big built bloke with a deep accent

>so we getting the cash

>yeah you go get the cash I’ll look around for anything else of use

>another one of the men was walking over towards were anon was

Oh shit

>anon quickly moved towards the small lamp shade and turned it off as well as grabbing a long metal object from part of the spare parts for the coffee machines, darkness surrounded the room and everything was barley visible. Anon backed himself up and waited behind the door

 

 

>As the man walked through the door anon struck the back of his head

>OWW what the fuck was that!

>the man stumbled in the dark his body smashing into the walls and knocking over various objects in the room

>anon pushed the man into the desk which he had sat and dogged his way out of the small backroom into the main room were the other two men

>they just stood there staring frozen in shock, anon starred back

>who in the fuck... get him!
