Her back was sore from the park bench..

She gritted her teeth, annoyed. She wasn't supposed to sleep that long. Her muscles throbbed with exhaustion but she couldn't afford to give them anymore ground. She got up and began to hobble. Her knee was swollen, her body ached, but she had to keep pushing forward.

She had fought with her body for about 100 metres when the clouds broke and sheets of rain darted to the ground. It was as if the elements didn't want her to reach her goal. Her will was stronger than tiredness and certainly stronger than rain, she carried on moving.

The thick rain drops hurled and whizzed at her. The weight of her drenched clothes pulled at her tired body. For the first time, small doubt crept into her mind, it was quick and short. She dispelled it, failure was not an option.
On she hobbled.

After the clouds had completely emptied and had nothing left, they parted. Relief pulled a sigh from her throat, but worry soon took hold of her. She had learnt this world was one of constant surprises. The conclusion of the rain meant the start of something else.

On she hobbled, wondering what would come for her next. She didn't have to wait long. A sickening screech cut through the air. It was loud, it was aggressive and it was her next test.
