but I am paralyzed.
Fear finally moves my feet
though I plod through quicksand.
As the chase continues,
my muscles strain
until I find solid ground,
gain speed.
The predator closes in.
I feel his hot breath,
know he will overtake me
with one lunge
until
my final surge
sends me safely skyward.

A dream? Your last job? Or ET? Whichever it might be.. it certainly conveyed suspense. Nice.
Wow, great imagery, Lime. That sounds just like one of my recurring nightmares as a kid. Have you been channeling my psyche?
(And my captcha for this is "pattical." Cue Twilight Zone music!)
your imagery here is fabo. i really enjoyed this.
Excellent writing... I don't know how you do it on a regular basis!!! You should start writing a book....
See. I TOLD you it was a bad idea to eat a sandwich before going to sleep!
Neat story. I imagine this tale lends itself to taking flight, and from some of the comments, it appears that others do to.
powerful 55,
I wish I can fly,
cheers!
... do too. It appears that others do too. Sheesh, my spelling has just gone down the toilet lately! I used to be the guy who never spelled anything wrong.
one day we will fly! :0
Great 55 and love the illustration.
Have a fantastic weekend!!
I don't like feeling you as the prey; I like you as predator...well conveyed!
I had the same dream. One of a few nightmares that I remembered even after waking up. I think it's because it had a happy end.
An interesting little poem Michelle, written about the picture? - Dave
