A cornered mouse never fights

I run as fast as I could. But i dont seem to cover distance... i seem a lot tired but i do not see the sweat on my brow. I can't see , not because i don't have sight but because its pitch dark..maybe thats why i can's see the distance covered.. its just one long narrow stretch and i dont find an end to it.. then i see it.. an end.. but not quite what i had hoped it would be.. a resting ground for my tired soul and body.. no.. not even close to that.. its a fiery hole.. with flames all around.. God!. why could i not see the embers and sparks from a distance .. i could have taken another way out... i turn back and everything is pitch dark as it was before.. i feel comfortable with the light around but not comfortable enough..the warmth of the flames are turning into leaps of hot air that are engulfing me...i cant believe it .. just one moment i was loking for warmth and now i am looking for some cold chill air to cool me down. How i wish i was still.. i should never have run.. should have been still.. now all that i know is that i am cornered.. and a cornered mouse never fights..
