Just Sayin' - Who am I Running For

I wrote a little something, but it's too short to be a story.

The fatigue hits me; hard. I've been running for days now, although it seems to be much, much more. Someone, I can't seem to remember who, is hurt iles and miles away at my starting poing. There's a hole in their chest and I can almost feel it enlargening with every second that passes by. I'm so tired, but I can hear that person gasping for breath, fighting for a chance. That's the onlly reason I'm pulling myself up. That's the only reason I'm still running. I need to find help. I need a saviour to take me back and sew that person's heart up. Oh god, it hurts. I can hear them crying. They need hep. But everytime I take a step, their voice diminishes just a little more and their palpitating heart starts to slow. What if by the thime I finally get to my destination, they'll be gone? I can't lose them. I've run too hard and too long.

How long? How long have I been running? I can't find help. I'm a failure. My chest hurts. Why? Who am I even running for?
