The courtyard comes into view, and my legs carry me toward the nearest tree. My hands find the rough bark, and I pull myself up with all the strength I have left. The higher I climb, the safer I feel. Up here, I can breathe. Up here, I might just have a chance.
Minutes pass in a blur, but I don’t move, holding my breath, praying no one will spot me. The adrenaline begins to wear off, and I find myself hoping against hope that I can hide long enough for the timer to run out.
