5 min action scene

My breath wheezed in and out of my lungs. I could hear them fast on my heels. I'm paying for all those chips in front of the TV. My nail snagged on a brick wall leaving a smear of blood behind me were I grabbed for purchase as I careened around a corner. Everything hurt, this is what I get for going up against the gods. Hell hounds, why did it have to be hell hounds.
