Alone At Dusk 

 I itch my foot from the brutal mosquitos. I’m alone in the wild and dark field. The sun is setting and I’m still not under shelter. I need food. It wasn’t a good idea to investigate what was in that bunny hole.Now  I have dozens of bleeding scars from those harsh bunnies. It's getting darker and I’m freezing. I get my pocket knife and run. I see the sun reflecting on the lake nearby. Water! I run towards the healthy refreshment. I kneel down and drink. My throat felt so amazing I even smiled. But I wasn’t the only one drinking from the lake. I found 10 big, chunky, Hyenas. Lots of fresh meat. I am so nervous that they will hurt me. I slip into the water. They start laughing at me. But I don’t take it personally, you know, it’s kinda their thing. The sky is very foggy and I have run metres  away from the water. I find a mossy log and I sit, staring down at my mood ring with my name engraved on it. Felix. 

'This is a moment I'm alone'

 

The luminous sun is shining through the large dark tree. The clouds are everywhere in the massive sky and the damp log is laying on the grass, alone. The air is breezy and cold, and the time is ticking. 'This is a moment I'm alone'

 

Waterslide Green Pastures

This was it. The moment of my first waterslide at green pastures. While I waited intensely in the long line, I watched the people slide down, imagining that being me. I really wanted to do it. I’d regret not doing it. But the reason I didn’t want to, is because the water that day was cold, but I don’t care, I’m meant to take risks. It was soon my turn and I started to shiver with nerve and fear. “Off you go.” Shooed a parent. I sit down and the water pushes me down the slide. I nearly tip over but I keep balanced. I felt like I was going to die from either frostiness or nervousness but with big bumps and speed I splash into the lake and swim to shore. All of a sudden I think to myself, ‘that’s something I’m surely going to do again.’ So I run up the hill and wait.
