#repeating words

(After some thinking, you know what to call them. Waves lapping against the shore. A steady gentle breeze blowing inland from the sea. The sea?)

(You sit up. The sea. You're on a beach.)

(Looking down at the sand beneath you, you slip off a long glove and push a hand into the sand.)

(You scramble to your feet and away from the shore. There's trees not too far away. You pick one and hide behind it.)

(You watch for the voice you heard. After a moment, you see a tall darkless figure. Is that... hair?)

(she lowers her hands)

(her face is flushed)

👑: Can we... try that again...?

(she takes a step towards you)

(nononononono)

(you have to run you have to run you have to run)

👑: Hi.

(run run run run RUN RUN RUN WHY CAN'T YOU MOVE)

👑: My name is—

(your legs are free to run)

(You run.)

(You run with everything you have.)

👑: W-Wait! Hey!
