100 Word Challenge- Kieran T

James climbed over the fence and into the field, ignoring the sign saying, “Caution, Wet Ground.”  His mother had sent him into the field to bring his father in for tea. She had always said he worked too hard on the farm.

As he made his way towards the rumbling tractor, James began to think about little things like how hungry he was when the ground fell from beneath him. He hit the ground hard and all the breath was knocked out of him. “H… help!” he screamed, his heart pounding in his chest. The rumbling of the tractor became louder and louder as it came closer.

​With a jolt, James realized if it stayed going it would roll over him! “Help!” he screamed at the top of his lungs.

Another engaging story Kieran! You demonstrate many skills of excellent writers, employing skills such as use of similes, alliteration, onomatopoeia and a wide range of vocabulary. You also used the 'show, don't tell' skill.... instead of telling the reader how you were feeling, you showed it with 'heart pounding in his chest'. Well done!
