A great visual, you feel like your right there and can feel the cheetah tensing up as he strikes. Well done!
ReplyDeleteGood job Gandalf. I think some of us look at cheetahs as beautiful, fast animals, and not as the vicious killers they can be. You could've focused your efforts even more on depicting this cheetah as the villain. I love your opening image: the sly, lurking cheetah.

Instead of: the sly, lurking cheetah is stalking its prey.
Write: the sly, lurking cheetah stalks its prey.
A simple change like this can strengthen your writing voice.
