“The Last Lap” by Austin McCreary

Submitted to Contest #90

I wander the streets of the once called New York City, it used to bustle with people, tossing me around left and right as I made my way to school. The crowded streets, the yelling, the sirens, it was all gone, now I walk alone, no yelling at Taxis to stop as I cross the street, no shooing off birds that were picking at the food I ate It was dark, cold, and lonely now. The tallest of the towers had collapsed, the cars were up in flames giving off a light that would have had me in awe but now is just ominous. I stare at the glow of the f...

I see my older brother latch onto the door and pop his head out ...

I should be mad at Tod Walker, the man who created me. -- Present Day -- "Audrey! Wait up!" The kind but crazy voice of my best friend floods my ears, her loud footsteps...

"Talia!" I turn around and see my best friend Lilly jogging down the side walk to greet me "Careful! Its icy!" I laugh and start over to greet her. My checks are rosy red, and my hands are frozen but I can bare just a bit longer. She smiles brightly at me "You ready?" I tilt my head, I dont remember making plans with her. "Talia! Seriously!?
