Austin by K. Dosal McLendon

From the Characters of the What Do You series comes a standalone short story about hope, happiness, and love.

Austin:
I like to tag and run.
But lately, all my friends are finding love.
And I keep running, wondering if I ever will.
Then fall came, and I see my finish line.
But this time, I want to run in circles and make it last.
At least long enough for a next time.

Terra:
I like to meet and leave.
Not worried about finding love.
Instead, I run away because love is a fool’s word for deceit.
But I never expected him.
And this time, I don’t think I will be able to walk away from the promise of a next time––with him.
