I heard the sound echo
My heart pounded in my chest
My throat felt like it was closing
I knew this wasn’t a test
I suppressed all my emotion
I looked up so high
Until I found the moon looking down
But no shadows insight
I felt my lips quiver then turn to a frown
The town was so far away
When that twig snapped
I knew what would happen next
My minutes here were numbered
I didn’t feel perplex...
