The Player

Against a cacophony of roars, the player was ready.

Luminously, the bone-white lights shone in the spectators’ eyes. Like a magical tunnel into heaven, the dazzling floodlights lit up the charcoal cosmos.

Indulged and cottoned, the lime grass glistened beneath the raven sky. Rustling in the cool midnight breeze, each blade of olive-green grass swayed hypnotically! Primed for action, the turf paused in preconception…

Like a carnivorous beast (poised for invasion), the bestial figure hurtled towards the raucous crowd. Bearing his frost-white canines (clenched with resentment), the restless predator advanced upon his prey.

Scared stiff, the ivory ball awaited it’s dreadful destiny. Petrified. Alarmed. Horrified. Suddenly, without warning, contact occurred! Spiraling towards the chaotic horizon, the ball glanced below… it’s fate was sealed.

Against a cacophony of roars, the player was ready.

This could be either cricket or Football (Soccer) or heck, even our baseball here in the USA. It painted a vivid picture. Jd nailed it. Smiles, Kevin
