It’s only mid-night but the freezing air beats you down. Your team mates on the sideline are in a warm spot in their jackets but it feels like there are polar bears trying to stop you from getting to the try line.
I get 4 points from scoring. Now I go to take the kick but my legs are freezing.
To me it feels like I'm in Antarctica, but I will be brave and go for the kick. When I step back and look at the ball and then the goalpost, in my brain I’m saying to myself “I will get this kick over.”
My heart is beating a million beats per hour. My fans are screaming at me and they are saying, “Get it over! Get it over!” I look at the ball, then I look at the goalpost. I look at the ball, then I look at the goalpost. I look at the ball, then I look at the goalpost.
My fans are shouting at me like a monkey in a zoo. I get annoyed. Then I look at the ball then I look at the goal post one last time. I try going with what my heart said and it said I will get it over. Then I step back and then I take a little jog, then…

ReplyDeleteHi Toma,
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic piece of writing! I like your use of repetition. It makes me feel like I'm in shoes of the character who is torn between focusing on getting the kick over, and feeling the building pressure of making the kick successful. Your sudden cliff-hanger end makes me really want to know if your character made the kick it or not!
I can wait for the NRL games this weekend now! Keep up the great work!!
