A Slim Figure Rising

fire-fighters face tough challenges

The burning building was hell,

no survivors as far as he could tell,

he shouted out in pain,

he suffered a mental drain,

gagging on the bad air,

as he fought the fear,

the smoke was nearly visible in the twilight,

the fire-fighters did put up a good fight,

the flames were thick and he choked,

so much damage, and so much smoke,

a slim figure rising and stumbled toward him,

he found it difficult to choke out a word,

but he made enough sounds to be heard,

he moaned, groaned,

shaking his head,

a hand pulled him to safety,

and he realized he wasn’t amongst the dead.

That was a deep piece, it was almost as if I were reading a story that was slowly unfolding in front of my very eyes. You, are a deep writer I can tell you take your writing very serious as well. I enjoyed that piece very much.


Keep up the good work.
