  • "Huff... Puff..."

    Donnie heaved as the used his hand to balance against the wall. Leo has once again waited for him after school, and not wanting to be somethed to the normal abuse of his opressor, he tried to run.

    Miracously, against all odds, this time he had lost his persecutor, but has left him without air and sweating profusedly, his bad atlethic state being the biggest reason behind it.

    "Where... am I?" Donnie had run without caring where he was going, running across streets and alleyways. As he looked around, he had finished in front of a small antiquity store, the old sign indicated that he was in front of "Delphi's", whatever it was. From outside he could seen books, drawers and dolls, mirrors and jewelry, a collection of different object that only had one thing in common - they were noticible old.

A little bit of backstory. There was a story in write.com called Small Town Swaps by Axel. I have contributed to one story line, but before I could continue the story was deleted, along with everything the author's have own.

I have saved some chapters, and the chapters that I didn't own were rewrotten. This story was made thinking of an interactive format to be uploaded eventually in CHYOA, but I prefer to post what I have written so I can make myself known.
