A sneaker wearing foot came down just in front of him and Ash found himself suddenly laying on his back staring up at the ceiling. Buster Baxter stood over him for a moment before he stepped over and passed him. The door to the nursing station was still some distance away, he'd be lying if he thought he was going to make it, but he had to try---
THOOOMB
Another near miss. This time it was Binky Barnes. The heavy set on/off bully lumbered pass. What the hell was Ash just laying around for?!
He scrambled back to his feet as another earth shaking footstep slammed close to him; bring him to his knees. This time it was the Teacher, Ratburn.
'I'm not going to make it.' Ash thought to himself.
Fern Walters walked down the corridor of the school just like she had for the last four years. Seeing Francine ahead of her she smiled and waved. She wasn't looking down as she walked, why would she? If she had, she might've noticed the speck scurrying directly in her path. But she hadn't, and so she swung her foot forward.
The loafer covered appendage hung for a moment, then began it's downward arc toward him. With the floors shaking as if in an earthquake, Ash ran/stumbled as fast as he could manage. But in his heart he knew he didn't have a chance in hell in avoiding her descending foot.
A shadow in the shape of a loafer fell over him. There was a great displacement of air and he was knocked to the floor, and then milliseconds seconds later the foot landed on top of him.
Ash opened his eyes. What? He was still alive! As the brown loafer lifted away he realized why. By sheer luck he had found himself in the gap between the raised heel and the rest of the sole. Quickly he stood up and continued to run, he would check his underwear later. He was still not quite out of the woods yet. There were still other students in the hallway. And they were all out to get him whether they knew it or not.
