Success
Location
Fear
You can see it in her eyes
It surrounds them all
A gunshot sounds
They all begin to run
Faster and faster
Deeper into the dark woods
Tears
They run down her cheeks
Just like everyone else
The salt mixes with sweat
Soaking her shirt
Clouding her vision
But she feels no sadness
Pain
It sears through her legs
And burns in her lungs
She pushes her limits
Just to get ahead of the rest
The feeling consumes her
But she refuses to stop
Rain
It pours over them all
The wind in her hair
The mud in her shoes
Like a warrior in battle
Blood will dry, wounds will heal
Still she runs on
Cheers
The sound of the crowd
As she emerges from the woods
The sound carries her on
The tears dry, the pain subsides
The fear is gone
And she wins
