How fast can you run?When you really have to?In heels and a work skirt, with your bag banging against your side: how fast?When you__e late for your train and you have to get home, and you race down the platform with seconds to spare: how fast can you run?What if it isn__ a train you__e running for, but your life?If you__e late home from work, and there__ no one in sight. If you haven__ charged your phone and no one knows where you are. If the footsteps behind you are getting closer, and you know, because you do it every day, that you__e on your own; that between the platform and the exit you won__ see another soul.If there__ breath on your neck, and the panic is rising, and it__ dark, and cold, and wet.If it__ just the two of you.Just you, and whoever__ behind you.Whoever is chasing you.How fast could you run then?It doesn__ matter how fast.Because there__ always someone who can run faster.
