Jog On

close your eyes and fall asleep, pray to god for no bad dreams

Helley stretched out the front of her building. There was a park with a nice big field halfway between home and work, and while Helley was on some sort of forced vacation from work, she still jogged in the same spot as always because it was a nice big space, plenty of trees, and so few people used the jogging path, people usually liked to walk around the little lake there or take their children to the playground. The only time Helley ever went to the park or lake was when she would take Atti to the playground or over to feed the ducks. She'd even take a football along so he could run about with it above his head while she chased him playfully pretending to be outraged that he had his hands on the ball. He would just run faster while cackling like the cheeky devil he was.

Helley jogged to the park and got on her track. The sun was high in the sky but there weren't many people out. There were a couple of toddlers on the playground, no one on the jogging path, and the only people about were those finding a pretty spot to sit and have their lunches while the sun was shining. It didn't matter that it was only 12 degrees, if the sun was out and the benches weren't wet then there would be some people enjoying the fresh air. Helley ignored them all, picking up her pace as she began her run.
