The Hunt

As I lay in the deep prickly grass, with the night as quiet as

a baby mouse, I can see something in the distance moving slowly. I wonder what it is, could it be a rabbit, a snake, a tiny doe? I try so hard not to make a sound, I can feel my heart beating faster and faster, I wonder can this thing hear it pounding uncontrollably. As I lay there on the hard unforgiving shards of bone dry grass, I can feel something driving into my thigh. I can't move, if I do than I may never find out what I have found trying to be as sneaky as me.

As time goes on in this misery, I finally see my chance to pounce!! It's eye's that had been glowing my way like a freight train in the distance have turned. I make my move as fast as a bullet, it doesn't have a chance. After being in aww of myself for such a perfect catch, I look down to see what my prize this evening will be. To my very unbiased eye's I see a something that looks like spikes. I feel so much pain, what did I do. As I look to see why I feel like I have been shot with thousands of needle's, my prey takes this chance and run's like he may never again. After feeling like a failure, I one by one pull the sharp long spikes from my body. I will have to plan this better if I want to succeed in my future. The hunt continues.......
