The boy's journey through the woods and his tribulation of trying to escape the hot pursuit of the great owl are beautifully penned.
The prompt is interestingly and creatively used. It shows the boy's fear and tension and his intelligent understanding of the ways of the owl.
" I am safely past the nest and can hear the owl settling into it with her babies. I breath a sigh of relief."
It is another tale of fear we see unfurling at his home with his father breathing fire at him for being late. He will never believe the boy's traumatic experience in the woods.
The story mirrors the parents' wrong way of judging their children, at least most of the time.
Well written and engaging.

Writ on!
