A Child's Hidden Agenda

by Everlasting   Jul 10, 2014


Flashing lights into brown eyes
Bushes quivering to barks
a moon reflects over a pond
as footsteps splash fear into walls
When the storage's door opens,
The saddest child in the world
Being chased by canines, by wolves,
trees shaking by gusts of rain
His shirt soaked with adrenaline
All for the sake of sprinting
the long walk to freedom.

Flashing lights
hidden agenda
storage
a long walk to freedom
saddest child in the world

    Judging Comment:

    A short narrative packed with action and emotions!
    It felt like I was running along with the child and
    the imagery just springs forth with pain and breath
    taking emotions.

    What makes this write even better are the eye
    catching lines for instance:

    Bushes quivering to barks,
    as footsteps splash fear into walls,

    His shirt soaked with adrenaline
    All for the sake of sprinting
    the long walk to freedom.
    Excellent piece of work here and wish I could give out more points!!

    Very well written.

    The line
    His shirt soaked with adrenaline
    the gushing energy and want beautifully depicted.

    Very nice! I love how short you kept this, yet it's the fast tone like the reader is inside the chase that's going on.

    I loved your line:
    As footsteps splash fear into walls...

    That is just an awesome line that stands right out and will be remembered.

    Great descriptions, well done.
