The Magic Wind

by Orla Angus aged 11

The moon glistened in the star light,
the inky black night sky
warped around the moon and stars lightly.
The wind howled and sighed
its claws wrapping around me.
Sweat dropping from my forehead as my knees bashed together.

I suddenly felt free
and ran for my life in the desolate forest.
I ran out of breath quickly
imagining what was coming for me.
The wind covered me as if it was a blanket of mysteriousness.

I shuddered to think,
my brain was out of ideas
of how to get out of this catastrophe.
Was this ever going to end?
The magic wind spoke as if it was alive talking to me.
I blinked and blinked, thinking I was asleep but I wasn’t.

Then the moon turned red
as red as blood
or as red as a ruby.
Something moved
or someone?
Then someone laughed,
a wicked and cold-hearted laugh.

I kept running then..it got me..
they got me…
the wind couldn’t help me now…

No one could…
