Running
“Hey!” A loud voice boomed. Everyone heard this like gun shots in the air. The herd of young people stampeded out the place when they saw the clerk lunge from behind the counter.
Outside the weather was still as pleasant as it was twenty minutes ago. There were casual night breezes, people laughing jolly in the streets, the lights were on and faint music could be heard blasting from a far away car. Layla ran down Happiness with the two cereal boxes tucked under either arms. Adrenaline flowed through her system cracking a smile across her typically rigid scowl. She stopped at the end of the block where she let herself pant till her cool returned. Two smokers witnessed her private moment of serenity. She looked in their direction, in which they self-consciously finished observing her and thus proceeded to comment between each other. Layla heard a stampede coming in her direction. She of course already knew the animals who were coming, so she took her time turning around.
“LAYLA-AHHHHH! RUN!” And so she ran.
Q#1: Does this sound nice?
Q#2: Would you be happy too?
