She was leaving the town when her legs bowed like twigs, staggering out of sight of the town. She found herself agaisnt a tree, and she struggled to keep herself up. Always moving. Had to keep moving.

No. Her small form collapsed and her vision was black. In her last conscious moments she remembered a few lines from a book she read. Something about a woman who had the longest hair and wanted to get rid of it.
