Take My Hand
Karla grabbed my hand.
"When I say 3, start running forward, don't stop until I do."
I looked into her warm auburn eyes and nodded, a lock of hair falling in front of my eyes.
"1...2...3!"
I sprinted forward, perfectly in step with her, who, for some reason unknown to me, I trusted completely, despite her ludicrous story.
"Close your eyes" she yelled, somehow softly. I closed them,and felt a small pressure for a split second while I continued to run. We stopped abruptly, right after the pressure ceased. "You may open your eyes now," she whispered in my ear.
My eyes opened slowly, adjusting to the new found light. I looked around at all the vivid colors.
I'd been taken to the most beautiful place I'd ever seen.
