I was killed for sport.

I tried to imagine what it would feel like to be a deer. This is what I wrote.





The forest was quiet which meant it was safe. I ran swiftly across till I reached a little stream that had clear water run through. Lowering my head I took a couple of sips. The cold water refreshing and rejuvenating me from the inside out. I heard a crack of a twig and I bolted. Running faster and faster I felt my body turn into something different. I became a fast animal running for safety. I jumped over fallen trees while darting my way through the still standing ones.

A boom echoed out acoress the forest resonating inbeteween every tree and across every riverbed. pain made its way acoress my back leg and I fell with it twitching. I felt warmth along with the pain and tried to crane my neck to see. I kept on trying to get up but my leg was being arped by that dull burning pain.

I fell back down. wanting to get back up. But I couldn't muster the energy required. I heard a shrill and menacing bark and saw from teh corner of my little beady eye a wolf like beast. Then it come to me. The stories that I heeard since I was a fawn all make sense now. This other creature came up to me and he spoke some strange magic spell to the wolf like beast. It stopped barking and backed out of view. The creature lifted up a metallic piece of something and I heard a boom.

Rewrite this out of the journalism mode. What did it really feel like? Why are you not freaking out? Why were you not afraid of the human?

Good idea...different execution.
