As he finished the final kilometre of his run, he felt the wind rushing against him, as if challenging him to go faster. His body became a machine, with each step deliberately calibrated to maximize his velocity. Reaching his destination, a new song began playing on his phone: “Ride” by Twenty One Pilots.

Ok I just needed to find the perfect shoes to go with my dress... I went to my room and looked under my bed for my plain black flats. Since I was going to a party, I was trying to avoid my feet hurting from heels. "Got it!" I yelled from my room and walked to the living room where Regina was now standing.…
