I can’t get away. They won’t leave me alone I don’t even know what I have done. Let me just row row my boat gently all the way down stream, but no. Everybody and their mother are after me. Am I a felon? Did I loiter or something? I am actually so confused.

The cop yells on the speaker “Stop rowing now! Or else”

Or else what buddy? You’ve been saying that for the last 15 minutes. Also, how would I stop now? The current is way too strong for me to just stop abruptly.

I get ready to yell over the wind but something stops me.

I remember now.

I grasp onto my paddles even harder and start going to town on the water. HOW DID THEY FIND ME?

Oh god oh god oh god….

The water is going everywhere including in my kayak. I guess they noticed me picking up pace now since they finally turned the motor of the boat on.

Is this how it ends?

Man, how could I be this stupid! Should’ve covered my tracks better.

I hear the clicking of the speaker again

“Hey! Stop speeding up or we will have to take other more serious measures!”

I look back; see the man and his crew slowly catching up with me. I go to speak

“I didn’t do anything please go away!”

I start paddling like my life depends on it because it does. The man yells “uh yeah right! We have plenty evidence that proves otherwise now slow down!”

Dammit.

My kayak hits a rock and I capsize. I fall into the water.

The currents strong but that doesn’t matter I start swimming with the current. There’s no way I’m going out like this. Right as I thought that I fell off the cliff.

I fall for what seems for forever then I hit the lake at the bottom.

I don’t hear that stupid speaker anymore.

I smile and close my eyes, knowing they can’t possibly still be after me after that fall.

This time I’ll make sure they can’t find me.
