Don't run away when the ocean recedes [locked]

Chance has been having the suckiest summer EVER.

First there was summer school. Which. What a way to ruin a summer, no matter what else is going on. Then there was the tornado. And now...

Now there's a guy laying on the ground about three streets back, hallucinating that he's covered in spiders. It's a simple enough fear. Easy to play with, easy to bring to mind. It was an easy out.

It's not her fault. It's not her fault. He attacked her, it's not her fault.

But he's screaming. Loudly. And she can't get the screams out of her ears, so she's running and running and running, her back aching and throbbing until she can't keep her wings any more. Out they come, throwing off her weight that she falls over, skinning her knees and her palms as she skids into a back alley, hoping it's far enough.
