He hit me, on the head...hard. I fell to the floor. Concussion. Pain. Darkness. Lonely. I felt a few more kicks in my stomach, then he stopped. I could hear distant clattering.10

11

My eyes fluttered open. My head throbbed with pain. I learched faward, clutching my stomach. Argghh! I put my hand up to my head, feeling something wet, and sticky. I looked at my hand, it was covered in thick red blood. My stomach churned, i had to look away. 12

13

I have to get away from here, him. I opened the pocket of my coat, and took out a peice of paper. I glanced at it onece, and shoved it back in my pocket. I did up the popper. 14

15

I glanced around the dark room. The window let in little light. Damb! Top floor of the house. It will do. I ran over to the window. Then silently pushed it open. I climbed out onto the ledge,and edged over to the roof ladder. 16

17

I climbed up the ladder. Just a few more steps... I pulled my self up to the top, and ran over to the other side of the building. If i jumped, to the next house along, i can climb down the balcony stairs. Its worth a try. 18

19

I ran to the edge, then leaped into the air. My right foot landed, on the roof. My left foot slipped downwards. I fell onto the hard conccreat. I pulled my leg up, and pushed my self to my feet.20

21

I ran. Faster. Faster. I broke out into a sprint. "Keep going," I whispered to myself,  "Don't stop!" I whispered, louder this time.22
