Every building in this city is brown or gray. Every…

cold wind whips my long, golden brown hair against my face. As I keep running I suddenly feel the earth turn to hard pavement under my feet. I come to an abrupt stop in the middle of the road. I hear an engine and look up just in time to leap out of the way of the blue jeep hurdling down the road. I roll over on the pavement and feel a sharp pain in my side.
