I ran and ran, I must have been running for at least an hour. I body came to a sharp halt, breathing heavily and searching for something in the distance, thinking that I could of actually died. I looked around, I saw a tourist information center on the corner of the road, there were signs outside it so I presumed it must have been open. I searched through my pockets ad found two dollars. I went over to the office and asked for a train guide and map. The friendly woman behind the desk reached down and quickly grasped hold of the map and placed it on the desk. She looked around her and told me to hang on. I had many thoughts in my head at that time and I was pacing up and down. I really needed this train timetable because I wanted to get as far away as possible, but in my mind I though I already knew the place.

" Excuse Me," said a pleasant voice breaking my thoughts, "here is your guide".

I was so pleased and my face lit up, "how much is that?" I said.

"Free"

I just realized that I was on the way out of this place and nothing could stop me. I walked away from the office, but then I paused, I had one last question... "Where's the nearest train station" I asked politely.

"Just here" she place a little blob of ink onto my map.

"Thanks" I said as I backed off.

"HONK!" ...
