Hi! I'm here to leave a quick review!!
Anyway let's get right to it,
She kept running faster and faster. She heard the trees rustling not to far behind her as the branches grabbed at her body and tore her skin. Barely breathing ,she screamed for help over and over again. There was no response and she knew it was just he and her in these woods. Her legs were getting heavier and she felt lightheaded. Suddenly the rustling behind her stopped. She ran a little farther and looked behind her. Noone was there. There was no sign of any life form other than her own. It was silent except for her heavy breathing. Suddenly ,a branch snapped from not to far in the distance.
OKayy...its a little hard to tell exactly what this is meant to be but judging from the tone I'm assuming this is either a prologue or a first chapter of some sort, perhaps even a first paragraph here considering it is a pretty short little paragraph that you've got here. At any rate, if we most past that one and to the paragraph itself, well, for the tiny scene that its trying to convey, it truly does do quite a wonderful job here. I love the sense of the whole paragraph seeming to be in constant motion which really fits with that theme of constantly running and as a reader you really get the sense that everything is just constantly running here.
I also love the way that the jungle she's running through appears to almost be a character here that's also actively trying to stop here. It gives the whole thing an even more active feel here...which makes it an even more powerful scene. On the whole, I really loved this scene, you can feel the intensity of what's going on and it gets your adrenaline flowing there to read this scene here. It doesn't quite seem to be doing much more than just being an awesome running sequence but well..for what it is, its an awesome running sequence....it just kinda seems a little random here.
Aaaaand that's it for this one.
As always remember to take what you think was helpful and forget the rest.
Stay Safe
