ReplyDeleteSuddenly someone knocks at the door, “Housekeeping,” the maid says loudly. I jump out of bed and look at my phone for the time, nothing, it was dead. “Come back later,” I yell back. I quickly search for a clock, It’s on the floor. ‘9:00am’ It read. “Oh my god, only a half an hour” I say a little too loudly. I start dashing around the room packing all my clothing as I trip over one of my shoes. I put my hands out a little too late and my knee hits the leg of the bed which happens to be metal. It slices my skin open. I grab a long cloth napkin from the bathroom and tie it around my now bleeding knee. I’m soaking the cloth napkin with blood as I hastily finish up packing and put some shorts on over my boxers. I run out of my room, not worrying about the blood on the carpet.
I push the button for the elevator but for some reason it was stuck on the second floor. In a great deal of pain and a large backpack on, I run down from the fourth floor. I make my way to the counter to pay for my stay, while I ask for the time. “9:10,” the man says. ‘Crap,’ I angrily thought, ‘only 20 minutes.’ I rush out as I say “Keep the change.”
This couldn’t get much worse when I saw that the streets were backed up with cars, considering it was rush hour ‘til about 10am. I had to run but two and a half miles in 20 minutes? ‘No way’ I thought. I wasn’t a fast runner to begin with, I have a heavy backpack, and my knee is in a lot of pain. I had to make it.
I started running, every step filled with pain. I looked down noticing that the cloth napkin was drenched in blood and there is blood dripping down my leg, probably scaring the people around me. I looked up at the street names and over to a bank who was displaying the time, ‘Wow,’ I happily thought, ‘One mile in 8 minutes.’ I didn’t think I had it in me. I caught a glimpse of a person’s face, they were surely confused and took sympathy for my knee. The pain didn’t matter much more because all I could feel was the rush of the wind through my brown hair and the adrenaline pumping it’s way throughout my veins. This is the best run I had in months and the fastest for that matter. The next mile and a half flew by and I was finally there.
I looked up at a clock, ‘9:29am’ it read. One minute to go, I had to hurry. I sprinted to the nearest display to find what track i was on. ‘Track 15’ I thought, thankfully the closest one to me. I ran down the stairs and I just slipped through the closing train doors.
I sat down at the closest seat I could find. I took off my backpack and stumbled to the nearest bathroom. I washed my leg with what I had and I took off my favorite white shirt and replaced the cloth napkin. I went back to my seat noticing that people didn’t much care for me, like this happened everyday for them. My girlfriend will be very surprised what I went through to see her. It was the only train for the next three days and I haven’t seen her in a year.
