100-Word Story #8: Sorry

48I struggled my way into a sea of people. I bumped onto strangers but was never halting to mumble a sorry, ignoring their looks, had I not been running from someone I was sure they would pierce me. I just watched them back through a watery blur of my tears.

                Just as I thought he didn’t keep up, I stopped. But the startling hard gripping on my arm told me otherwise.

                “I’m sorry.”

                He dropped to his knees.

                “Get up!”

                “Forgive me.”

                I won’t. I kicked him on his side and I ran away. Well, I guess we’re even now.
