Left, right, left, right, up, down, up down. The rhythm was embedded in my memory. I was out on my daily run. I didn't know how long it was, but he didn't really care. For him this was a distraction from his normal life. Why was this his distraction though. He hated running, but his feet just keep moving.
He thought he was about half way done. He hadn't seen anyone yet, but that's not unusual. He usually didn't see anyone. Besides who would be out on a day like this. It was overcast with a heavy fog. He was sure that it would start to rain any second now. He thought he saw something moving in the fog, but he couldn't tell. He just kept running. His lungs felt like they would explode."One day," he said to himself,"I'm going to find out how long this route is and find a way to make it shorter." His asthma was starting to bother him soon he would have to stop.
Finally after ten more minutes he stopped, and stood there gasping for breath. Sweat was pouring from every pore on his body. This made him cold. It couldn't be more than 55 degrees out which was cold for this time of year.
I saw something move in the fog. This time I was sure something was there. I stood and waited. After a minute or two I could make out a girl who I had seen at school some."Hey." I said as she passed.
