    Death




    The flames lick the walls
    Hungrily devouring wood

    She screams
    Covered in blood

    She was trapped
    Nowhere to run

    She coughed
    Ash filling her lungs

    She felt light-headed
    She dropped to the ground

    She opened her eyes.
    She saw light

    She ran towards it
    She leapt out of the hole

    The dogs attacked
    The hunters laughed

    They caught the fox.
    They smiled and congratulated each other.

    The cubs cried out, their mother was gone
    No-one to defend them, to feed them.

    One by one they would befall the same fate
    Hunted for pleasure and sport.

    Allow the reader to figure out you are writing about a fox, rather thatn literally saying it.

    Just a thought.
