Escape

I darted away, running as fast as my legs could carry me.
It wasn't fast enough.
From behind I was tackled, and we rolled, my assailant landing on top of me.
That didn't mean I wouldn't go without a fight though.
A bucked, struggling to break from his grip.
Only managing it when his cohorts jumped on him to hold me down.
It was enough to loosen his grip.
Enough for me to wiggle in the mass of bodies.
Enough for me to roll free, jump to my feet and disappear around the corner before they knew what happened.
That had been too close.

-Inspiration from watching an animal video lizard escaping snakes
