What are they running from? And from whom?

ELLIS, as if writing a journal entry
Day 6 since I…(pausing, then changing what they were about to say)...since I…left…home.
I passed the 100 mile mark today. My feet are killing me, and I had a rock in my shoe for the last 10 miles…but that’s good progress, I think. No sign of anyone else, which I guess is also a good thing? It means no one’s found me, at least.
I ran out of food yesterday, though. I was only able to pack a little in such a hurry. It’s been easy enough to find water, but I started to get hungry today. I’ve been following a river for a while, too…but so far, no luck catching any fish. I’m not even sure what to do if I did manage to catch one. I tried to eat a few snails, though.
They, uh…they weren’t very good. Maybe I should’ve cooked them, but…I couldn’t get the fire hot enough. The rain made everything so damp. (sighing) I miss regular meals.
Maybe tomorrow I’ll find some village with an inn. Someplace warm, without rats or wolves or whatever, with four walls and a real roof. And…better people. People who won’t know me.
(as if an afterthought) Oh, and a proper bed. That’d be nice.
