Pursuit

Breathless, she runs,

Her Pursuer is not far behind.

"Cassie," he taunts, "I'm coming!"

True enough, he steadily approaches.

She leaps, jumping over a fallen bough.

Nothing can stop her.

She had known better

Than to tempt fate,

But unfortunately, life just is.

Now, she could pay dearly.

She felt as if her very life was on the line.

However, she would NOT let this happen.

Woo! Woo! the train whistle blows.

Steadily, her energy decreases.

"Cassie, you can't escape me!" her pursuer, again.

The doors begin to shut and

With a final burst of energy, she slips through.

She has done it.

She has defeated Time once more.
