Her name knows fear

Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “pant/pent/pint/pont/punt.” Use one, use ’em all, use ’em any way you’d like. 

As she ran barefoot down the road, her breath was forming puff-like clouds from the cold air. Her heavy breathing caused her to pant like she was some sort of animal beast. Out of breath and fearful of the hunter in search of its prey, she ducked behind the nearest parked car, just to catch her breath, if only for a second. This pent-up feeling she had was her fuel for her escape. That evil demon forced her to drink a pint, that’s two cups of dirty water, every day as her only source of hydration. Not to mention all the times he wanted her to stand along the Pont Nerf’s edge to just dangle as if she would jump. Casey rested for only a second, it seemed, before she realized he would probably wake up from his afternoon nap. He would then realize she had escaped and soon dart out of the house to search and catch her. That’s one thing she couldn’t let happen. She would punt herself to escape his prison. She would not give up. Up ahead she noticed something shining in the glow of the street light. Casey stopped, and all of a sudden she froze…

What was it that made her stop?

Until Next Time,
