Few. Blimey. That was powerful. Such a strong message - those first almost accidental steps, becoming deliberate, and then running away with themselves in the wrong direction. Really enjoyed reading this several times through!
Out of interest, do you perform your work live- I could just imagine this being performed.

Oh what an awesome comment! Thank you very much. I'm glad you enjoyed it enough to give it a few reads. It is a perspective thing for sure, something which is pretty difficult for kids to comprehend.
I don't perform, this is only one of the first pieces I've done so the thought of performing never popped into my mind. I will probably end up reading some of these in the Drop in the Ocean show every now and then!
Thanks again :)
Wow really?? Reading this I thought you were a seasoned writer in this style. I think it would be wicked performed live. There's something in its rhythm that made me think of Tim Minchin.

Not yet! Well thank you, Tim Minchin is a legend so that is quite an honor.
An absolute legend... maybe you're headed the same way! :)
