How could she do this! How could Lucy refuse to have the abortion? How could she refuse treatment—any treatment that might save her life—until after the baby was born? Where were her promises! How had it come to this? I screamed this betrayal at the sky as I ran, speeding my pace, lengthening my stride. I ran to the end of my strength, but the rage was stronger than me. I had no power to subdue it. I’d been running for nearly an hour and my heart was an iron barbell clanging inside my chest and still I was fueled by this clot of unbearable emotion.

It was nearly dawn and I had run down the country road that separated Brinley from Ivoryton, my breath ragged and harsh. I slowed my pace and gulped in the air as the color in my head faded. I breathed slow and deep and felt it pour through me—the real stuff that was beneath the rage, the stuff that hurt like hell.

That’s how it works; sometimes I can outrun rage, but I can never outrun fear.
