I didn't know my feet could move so fast, but I bolted out of the building faster than I could say there's no place like home.

I could have been imagining it

but I swear I heard a faint aching as I was running to my car.

I don't remember seeing any people as I was sprinting.

I sped to the next stage that pulled up to the pump and ran inside.

This time I didn't stop in the bathroom.

I didn't even glance at it.

I ran straight to the tent.

The Matilda lady look-alike stood at attention.

I need 20 on pump 1.

I stand and she just stared and is somewhat bewildered as I was about to repeat myself.

I heard an ear-pacing scream come from the bathroom.

I had knowingly bypassed.

I ignored it.
