Escape Mode

The door bursts open

Your head jolts to the bedroom door

Hearing feet race up the stairs

You scramble out the window

People break in

You have 5 seconds to breathe

And 5 seconds to die

Run across the backyard

Hop over the fence

They're right behind you

Not too far away

You hear voices

Telling you to stop

You cross the street

Heart racing

One, two, three,

One, two, three

You book it to the right

Cars block your way

You hightail it to the left

Slide down a hill

You hear leather soles

Make contact with concrete

Footsteps not too far behind

Race up the side of the hill

You slip by half a second

You hear dirt sliding behind you

Hop over a concrete wall

Planning your next move

Three cars speed around the corner

You stop to a halt

You run the other way

Guns are pointed at you

You stop in your tracks

Breathing is heavy

Eyes are darting

Heart is racing

You look around for a gap

All your exits are closed

You are surrounded

You slowly get down on the ground

Mind is racing

Why me!

I didn't do anything

Will I survive?
