"The world is spinning around me as I dash through a thick forest. I can hear arrows shot past my ears, as my panic rises. As I turn a sharp corner, I think I'm safe when I feel a sharp pain in my back. Falling to the ground I see a face that I just can't make out. Then all I hear is a sickening laugh as the figure walks in front of me. It then pulls back its bow as-"
I jump up from my bed in a panic and drenched in cold sweat. A small bark goes from the floor and see its my little sheep dog, Mickey. He always tried to comfort me when things like this happens. I give him a little scratch on his head as I look out the window. "Oh yea," I say looking back at him with a slight frown. "It's reaping day...let's go." After a brief silence, I get up and grab my jacket as I quickly check on the cows.
"How you guys doing this "wonderful" morning?" I say patting one of the cows.
"I am doing just great on this beautiful moooorning" says a goofy voice coming from the stables. My mom with her light brown hair comes out behind the stables, with a little giggle. I laugh along as we walk back into our comfy little home. It is a pretty nice size home since it's only mom,Mickey and I. I run back to my room and strip off my dirty pajamas, as my mom back breakfast. Looking in the mirror I see a skinny pale girl standing back at me; despite all the work I do around here I have no muscle at all. I shrug it off as I slipped a light grey dress over my head. It isn't too long or faltering dress, but it works since there aren't many formal events around here.
"Skylar you are going to be late..." My mom calls from downstairs with a little sorrow in her voice. Trudging downstairs, I chug down the milk on the table, and stuff my mouth with bacon. Turning to my mom to give her a nervous smile; all I could see was sadness in her eyes. Grabbing the small twine of lucky rope by the door, I head out to the lottery of life.Slowly walking down the dirt and gravel cover path like everyone else I began to wonder. What will the have for this year? What if I get picked? Or one of my friends? What will mom do if I get picked? Oh god. I clutch my twine as anxiety builds in me.
SO IT'S OPINION TIME! Please tell me how this looks because I am still pretty rusty when it comes to writing. I still have more to write for this, but as the title says it is just a preview. Well enjoy, and leave some feedback!
