"Burn" drabble
Remember that kid from the opening scene of "Lie To Me"?
The Lamb Is Caught In The Blackberry Patch
When the man tells him to run, he does. He's a big boy, he's lived here his whole life, but he runs.
He can still feel the weird lady's eyes on him. He runs faster through the dark streets, rubbing his cheeks. What did she mean, she wasn't a person? Why would his mom would sing when she found his body? What was with her eyes?
He runs all the way home, eyes shut, lungs burning. Mom hugs him, asks him what's wrong, but he can't explain how everything can be wrong, how he just wants to keep running forever.
