I was running, full speed, through the woods on the out skirts of the village. I was nearly choking on air as I struggled to flee from my captors.
   What do you do when a whole village turns on you? Your own neighbours? Thinking you're a witch and that you set your house on fire.
   I relived the moment of terror when I smelt the smoke, and then I saw it.
   The bright red flames rising up around me, and the flames licking the window pane. I didn't know how I got out of there unscathed. I shouldn't have. But I did…. And that was all that mattered, right now.
   I looked behind me to see the crowd of men chasing my trail. But it was a mistake, because then I was falling. My legs couldn't hold me anymore. My whole body falling into oblivion, the blackness of the labyrinth surrounding me.
OK, this was written very quickly with no proof-reading, I was musing about randomness and it came into my head, and then I started forming a story all around it, and I decided to write it all down.
I need opinions and I'm very sure there are a dozen spelling errors, never mind that however.

Opinions please.
And criticism and insults are very welcome.

How did I miss this? Must have x-ed out of it by accident!
I'm bound to have nightmares after reading this, though. Maybe my sub-concious made me not read this...
Hmmm.
