'Where's Titus when I actually need him?' He thought desperately, unable to sense a single presence anywhere around him no matter how far he ran.

The ground beneath his feet, the trees he passed, even the angle of the sunlight above, all of it seemed to repeat itself over and over, as if he were running in place inside the same stretch of forest, never actually getting anywhere.
