RUN RUN RUN excerpts
MARLOW
Zed was the cautious optimist of our
duo. I accepted the soda with a doubtful glance. “I hope you’re
not suggesting we go to the fall social.”
He sat at his desk hitting the edge with
his knobby knees, and spilled Coke on his crouch. “Dang! And of
course not. Guys who go to events like that eat guys like us alive.”
An optimist with a healthy dose of
reality. I averted my eyes as Zed removed his soiled jeans and
awkwardly hopped into a pair of sweats. He made this ordinary task
seem difficult and it was hard to watch. I closed my eyes. “Okay,
Marlow Henry,” I thought to myself, “this is your new reality.
Let’s make the most of it.”
“Gotta head out,” I said. I stuffed
my wallet into my pocket. “Outta supplies.”
Zed snorted. “You buying toilet
paper?”
“Among other things. Like food.”
“Bring me back something.”
I stared at him over my glasses. “Show
me the money.”
Zed scooped some change from the top of
his desk and filled my palm. “No tomatoes.”
I returned a while later with grub. I
threw the TP into the bathroom. We moved to the common lounge to eat.
Our room was so small Zed and I would practically knock elbows if we
ate in there.
We were halfway through our sandwiches
when Paul and Steve, fellow dorm nerds we met on the first night we
moved in, blew into the common room all excited.
“We were just leaving the library when
a couple cop cars pulled up,” Paul said.
I sat up. “What happened?”
“A girl was raped in a the park behind
the library. The university is under investigation.”
“That’s terrible.” I checked my
watch. Teagan time. I returned to my dorm room, logged into the chat
room and waited. I grew antsy. Where was she? She was usually there
this time of night. She hadn’t gone to the library this afternoon,
had she?

Excerpt:
SAGE
“I
met this guy,” Teagan said quietly. “He said something that kind of creeped me
out.”
I
blinked several times as I processed this and twisted to face her. “You’re online
dating?”
She
shot me a horrified look. “No! It’s not a dating site. It’s a campus chat
room.”
Nora
swung her legs around and returned to a sitting position. “What’d he say?”
“Well,”
Teagan began, “he told me that there had been a rape and that I should be
careful.”
I
didn’t get it. “Why does that creep you out?”
“Because
he told me about the rape before it happened.”
What?
Nora and I chimed in together. “Before?”
I
leaned forward and asked, “He predicted the rape? How?”
Teagan
shrugged. “Maybe he’s psychic?”
“Or,”
Nora began, “he did it. His way of playing with your head.”
AS FAST AS YOU CAN
YOU CAN’T CATCH ME
