COMPETITION PROMPT
Write the opening scene of a story set in a frozen landscape.
Crescendo
Pit. Pat. Pit. Pat.
Blood drips from my fingertips.
Pit. Pat. Pit. Pat.
Panting through my splitted lips.
Pit. Pat. Pit. Pat.
Snow falls gently on his head.
Pit. Pat. Pit. Pat.
Gaping mouth, eyes cold and dead.
Pit. Pat. Pit. Pat.
Pull his body to the ledge.
Pit. Pat. Pit. Pat.
Leaves a crimson trail and edge.
Pit. Pat. Pit. Pat.
Close my eyes and hear the thud.
Pit. Pat. Pit. Pat.
Jacket soiled by sweat and blood.
Pit. Pat. Pit. Pat.
Legs give out beneath the weight.
Pit. Pat. Pit. Pat.
Distant hills commiserate.
Pit. Pat. Pit. Pat.
Blood drips from my fingertips.
Pit. Pat. Pit. Pat.
Panting. Fading.
Then life slips.
