^~~\_Flight!_/~~^ (Challenge Submission)
By BlaZe
Silence. The whistle has blown, The sun has frozen in the sky. My world shrinks To a narrow tunnel of red track two meters wide. My surroundings blur into a dark haze, The crowd now indistinguishable splashes of color, The stadium quiet... Except for the echo of my thoughts telling me to focus… “Take Your Marks” Focus on the explosion: Pump the arms Stride out… “Set” Breathe out…and turn the thought process off. Leave my body to do the rest And the adrenaline to fuel my desire, The desire to fly. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Its over, and I cant even remember hearing the gun. 10.9 seconds, a new personal best. I had just achieved my greatest sporting goal, I am now amongst that elite few who have learned to fly, Felt the power of speed on my own two feet. 100 meters of rapid movement, And to think… I didnt need to breathe!Im workin on that 10.9 seconds..not there yet but hopefully one day ill learn to fly Challenge: Make me feel inside of your favorite game/show/sport by using imagery. Use 1st person and the word 'breathe' Written December 27th, 2001 © on Dec 27 2001 12:10 AM PST 0 • 10
