Animals & Their Actions

In the distance a car burrowed into a garage

The bat took control of the wind’s galloping pace…….

All that the bleak night offered was the hiss of the wind

The car reacted accordingly swinging around the corner and continued to prowl navigating the deserted streets

Fear diffused across her skin, seeping into her skin, gulping up the initial excitement and leaving behind a sting, a feeling of being lost
