Jump - MMC (February 8, 2016)

              

             

walk.

walk.

keep your head down.
don't draw attention.
we can't afford to be found.
not here.
not yet.
we'll be out of here.
and then we'll be off.
as fast as we can.

we're out.
the coast is clear.
no, let's keep a normal pace.
no one will notice.
our coats are black.
we'll blend in.

whistle.
whistle.
no sudden moves.
maybe they'll pass us by.
they have no way to prove
that we're behind this.
they can't.
not possible.
we're two friends.
wearing coats.
the night is cold.

they're gone.
went right past.
yes, maybe we should
get off the road...
oh. they're back.
only turned around.

run.

run.

don't get caught.

not now.

most definitely not.

not after all we've been through.

cross to the side.

cross to the left.
it's our only chance.
the river.

look here.
we can jump.
won't be so swift
as the other side.
have you got the note?
then 1-2-3.

we're off.


This was not the best, but it's what I managed for this week. It's 162 words, and I used the picture prompt. 

auf wiedersehen, darling
