This came to me one day at work, so I wrote it all down!

The Following Text Is Quoted:

The sky burned red, and the children laughed.
The winds were hot, and the sun bared down on them like murder.
Claws unfurled and with baited breath, the eagle circles awaiting.
Worms writhe inside the carcass, a bull hit by a car.
The newness of death and the ever present inquisitiveness of children,
Still the eagle waits…

A dusty Ute pulls up on the side of the road, inside an old man gathers strength and flings the door open. ‘What’s this you’ve found?” he grumbles. The children move back. Slowly he walks over and slightly limping he reaches for something inside his pocket.

Hey MATTO - interesting write - But I'm wondering where the oldman comes from and what he's reaching for... Interesting piece no doubt, but it seems a bit unfinished...

Anyway - With that said - I liked how you set the stage. It really gives an eerie appearance - Like you're staring right @ death. Very vivid imagery - which is always good for the storytelling.

I liked this one - Thanx for sharing it!

Very interesting. I'd like to know more.

I think the style that this is goin gis right on track. It's very suspenseful. What was the old man reaching for in his pocket?

I like the tone of the piece. I was definitely intrigued. Part 2, please.

I wanted it to leave the reader wanting more

Maybe tho I'll add to it !
