Faint

Chapter XV

Courtney's POV:

Nausea and a dull ache clutch at my exhausted body as I practically drag myself towards what Google Maps claims is the closest town. I've been walking for hours, with only a talk bottle of water as my company, along with my two, partially charged cell phones. The guys have both attempted to call several times, but I blocked the numbers, finding no reason to answer their pointless calls. I'll call them if anything happens or when I find civilization, but it's not like they can do anything for me right now. I have about a mile until I am near a highway, which relieves me. Maybe some kind stranger will pick me up as a hitchhiker.

__

It's in my sight. The rolling, seemingly endless road stretches far past the horizon. I scan the long road, looking for any sign of cars but I see none. Absolutely nothing.

Fuck.

But then I do see it, just past the deserted dunes, a building. Many buildings, tall and reflecting the blindingly bright sun. A city. I'm saved.


I break into a run, even though I know it's pointless; the city is at least a few miles away, but I'm overcome by excitement. I am truly free now. Almost.

Notes

Sorry for the short chapter :(
I'm drawing up the suspese!!

Do you think Court is really free?

I say just do whichever will make you happiest. Honestly I'll happily read it either way.

Seeing the world isn't like looking at a set picture. It can be whatever you make of it. That's why we write, to create a new idea of the world. Life is an art. It can be difficult and painful and sometimes it's downright unbearable, but even in the darkest hour there are still little pieces of light; like when you sing along to your favorite song, or read a powerful story. Because those little splashes of dark and light turn out to be a beautiful piece of art in the end. On the subject of a book three, I'd say that the last thing I would want to do is inhibit your growth as a person, especially if it would mean reverting back to self-destructive habits. I think you should write whatever you want to write and it will be amazing because you've already proven yourself to be a great writer. You have an amazing gift and I can't wait to see what you come up with next.

I'm actually tearing up a little bit right now. That is incredibly sweet of you to say, especially since I only started this because I just enjoy writing, I never though people would like it like you guys do!

Just one thing though, none of you want to see the world like I do, because it isn't a pretty sight...
