Personal Narrative-Edward Sprint's Home

While watching Edward sprint out of the town, everyone in the diner lowered their heads, then walked over to a large park in the center of town. This was the normal reaction after each person had left the town. Being the known speaker for the town, I had been propped up on a bench, with everyone in town staring at me, awaiting my response to this disappointing outcome. However, this time, I couldn't find the words of comfort. Even though it would've been nice to have Edward join them, he seemed like a pleasant individual, and made him question why he is trying to prevent good people from trying to pursue their dreams.
The townsfolk, still waiting for my response, started to get nervous. Murmurs started spreading throughout the crowd, and some people started to leave. I stood, frozen. Ben Lightfoot walked up to me, and started to speak.
“What's wrong? It's not like you to fall silent, especially at a time like this.”
“I don't feel right,” I responded. “I don't know if letting Edward leave is a good or bad thing.”

Then, I took a small step, and used all of my force to shove Ben, focusing my hands on his chest, causing him to fall. Using this opportunity, I started to break out in a slight sprint. All of this seemed familiar to me. Behind me and Renata were the townsfolk, trying to prevent me from leaving. Desperate, I used all of my effort, and finally reached the border, where the townsfolk were left just standing there due to their unfortunate trance they were unaware of. Finally safe, I looked at Renata, who was out of breath. I reached down to pet her, and started to walk down the road, hoping to meet Edward once more to thank him for
