Buffalo Getaway

Camping in the crispy dry grass, waiting patiently.
My prey is inching closer and closer, I’m getting hungry just looking at it. I imagined the tough meat and all that juicy red blood underneath the hair. My mouth was watering just looking at it.

Right! I jump and miss. I run as fast as I can then leaping. I’m on. My claws dig deep. I slide off. It runs. “No you can’t getaway now, my stomach is hungry and I need to take you home for my family, otherwise they will starve to death.”

I start running but the buffalo’s already ahead. So we let it off because we're running out of energy. I slowed down. We weren't quite quick enough I thought to myself. I am hungry though. I am not going to let myself down. So I run with all might and pull him to the ground. As he yelps for help, I kill it.

  2. Kia ora John,
    Buffalo Get Away is very exciting, descriptive and giving clues along the way. I have done something similar about a squirrel and a hawk. What a you chasing?

    I learnt that You like hunting and trying to provide food for your family.
    Maybe you could use more descriptive words to make your story more detailed.
