Here’s Joe’s piece.
As I walk down the old deceased creek, I feel unsafe. My shoes sink into the gooey mud. I stop in my tracks, my feet glued to the mud , I look around the corner and see a sight that can never be unseen. It was disgusting black rotting logs that looked like rising dead bats. I was creeped out by this and wanted to turn back immediately but I desperately needed to get to the water to go fishing. When I began to walk through, I sunk in the mud right up to my waist. Now I do turn back!
Hi Joe,
I enjoyed your writing piece. Well done!
I particularly liked how you described the gooey, sticky mud and the ‘disgusting black rotting logs that looked like rising dead bats’. That sounds incredibly creepy and terrifying. I’d be out of there in a flash, forget the fishing!

What a descriptive and attention holding piece of writing! Did you make it up the creek to the open flowing river rapids to go fishing? Or to a sleek back water where the trout surface to capture the landing flys? Perhaps your next 100 words could let us know!?
