THE GAME

Slap!

Someone's chappals hit me as I touch the ground.



To and fro! To and fro!

between the legs.

swift, small rolls from one feet to the other.



Freeze...

the legs stop, I stop.

one more pair of legs in front of me.



Whack!

I am hit again.

Rolling! Rolling! Rolling!

quickly I go to another person.



Can't see anything!



Aaaah!!!

one more leg appears from nowhere and kicks me,

I go flying the wind howling on my body...



Dhup...dhup...dhup

Bounce three times



Then roll, roll, roll,

I feel dizzy...



Iam still.

Relaxed.



tap.tap.tap.tap.tap

I hear something



tap.tap.tap.tap.tap

It becomes louder



tap.tap.tap.tap.tap

...and louder



tap.tap.tap.tap.tap

save me!

It's really close!



What?!

There are two people

running towards me!

Someone hel...

WHACK!!!

Aaaaooooo!Two legs hit me.

Stuck between the legs

SQUISH...

I am squashed.

Choked.



Aaah...

I am out,

It's not suffocating anymore...



But oh!

Kicked again!

HARD!

Just one centimetre off the ground

SWISH!

I go flying

between someone's legs

and...SPLASH into the puddle.



It's a goal.
