Temple Run

Hi, my name is... well I don't really have a name, I have forgotten it I have been here so long, but I like to call myself Jason, just because it is simple and as a kid I, I was never a kid. I have been a teenager for all my life running around corners and collecting coins. I have to run away from a hairy, man-eating gorilla but no one knows why. I would love to tell some one but I can't because I have no one to talk to. I just float around aimlessly waiting for some one to play me. Run, jump, duck.My only movements.

One day I was with my friends in a jungle with witches fingers twisting out of trees with confused faces. Ominous clouds swept over the diamond sky like a sheet of darkness. Suddenly a golden temple appeared out of the mock.

"Jason," one of my friends beckoned me to join the group, " We dare you to go into that temple. "

" No way! " I shouted to them.

" Wimp! " they chanted. Now I was no wimp as you can see,so I bravely went in. There was gold every where. I turned around. The jungle wasn't there and my friends had vanished into thin air.

" Guys! " I called, " This isn't funny. Come out! "

There was no answer but my echo bouncing off pillars. Then, out of the corner of my eye, I spotted a ruby as red as blood. It was almost calling to me saying, " Touch me. "

So I did. I began falling into a hole as black as a raven's feather. Then everything went blank.

I was on a crumbling platform with that gorilla behind me. I began to run, jump and duck. I couldn't stop. Now I am running to get out of this hell hole. Now I am just running and nothing else. I will never escape. I am trapped.
