Darien tries to run on this week's Wip It Up Wednesday #wipitup #WIPITUPWEDNESDAY

I would just like to say - it's 1 month to Christmas - let the insanity begin :-). Now back to our regularly scheduled programme.

Darien escaped the bar where the shootings took placed then raced into an alley. A drunk threw and empty bottle at him.




Darien's eyes watered. The smell repulsed him. He couldn’t escape it. No matter how fast he moved. He glanced down. His hands, shirt and khakis were covered with every vile thing he'd just escaped from. His knees buckled and he tried to throw up anything that remained in his stomach. The spasms racked him, but nothing released.Resting on his hands, he waited until the spinning in his head slowed. He stood and lurched forward. Stepping out of the dimness of the alley into the neon-glare of the main street, he glanced right and left. A chic couple frowned and stepped around him, their noses wrinkled in disgust. Her stiletto heels tapped a fast rhythm as they hurried away. He stepped to the edge of the sidewalk and flagged a cab. When it slowed, he reached for the handle. As he bent to slide in, the cabbie yelled something and sped off. Darien lost his balance and smashed onto the pavement. His head bounced. Stars flashed before his eyes.The blast of a car horn and the screech of tires made him snap his eyes open. He crawled back to the sidewalk and sat, leaning on a lamppost. The stupidity of the whole scene welled up in him. He wasn't sure whether to laugh or what. It was Songkran; the traditional Thai New Year festival. Brilliant yellow, green and red banners and lanterns decorated the brightly lit streets of Bangkok. People danced and laughed as they walked along the sidewalks. Darien turned his head and shivered. But there, fifty feet away, hidden in a private club, was death and terror. And what the hell was he doing in the middle of it?
