Inevitable
by Ela Lourenco
Wisps of acrid pale grey smoke
Undulated out of the chimney
Cutting through the crisp clean air
Disturbing the pine scent of the forest.
Not a bird flew, not a sound in the dawn sky
Fear blanketed the earth.
I was frozen in my hiding place
As tendrils of smoke danced towards me
Almost choking me.
As it reached me
I wondered if I was to be next….
