An Adventurous Child
By: Hannah Silverstein
He sneaks silently up the porch stairs
Slips to the window
A mouse in a cat’s lair
Quietly opens the blinds
The town phantom
Never before seen
He yearns to get one swift look at this marvelous creature
He is greatly disappointed
A blaring gunshot triggers his escape
Running
Barely contemplating what he could have seen
Running
Frightened
A fearful falcon in the dead of night
He makes it out alive
That adventurous child.
