Week #35 100WC - Jacob
The dog is standing, staring at the water. The dogs ears are whirling with the wind. Harmonious water flowing down the river. The trees, not a whistle. The dog is staring at the water with such stillness. Crickets racketing in the dewy grass. No ones moving, just stillness. the scene, the mountains, the river, the dog. But then the dog sees something… he pounces into the water. There's an eel, but he doesn't get it. It swims away and the dog walks out of the water and walks away. Calm mountains, calm water, calm trees, calm animals. The dog is sad.

Kia ora Jacob.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this! You have managed to recreate the scene extremely effectively so that your reader can visualise easily, feeling the cool air, imagining the stream with the dog alongside. I think that your writing also places the story into the New Zealand landscape and that is a very clever thing. Keep up your imaginative writing Jacob, and when you get a chance, come and check out my class blog as we all love getting in touch with students from other schools.
