South Circular 2017/18

bloodthirsty eyes of the wolf looked determined. The blood red specks on his coat were like a trophy to the wolf, showing off the remnants of his latest victim. Would Buck face the same fate? This was not an easy enemy for Buck to contend with. In an instant, the wolf lunged at Buck with the force of a bullet. With speed and elegance, Buck sidestepped him and darted for an escape route. Space was what Buck needed to seek refuge. He broke through the shrubbery into a white plane. It was time. Turning around, Buck saw that the wolf had come to an unexpected halt. Deadly silence filled the forest as if it was holding its breath. Tentatively waiting for the oncoming battle, Buck knew that it was kill or die. He had to win to survive. He valued his life above the wolf’s. The two rivals advanced towards one another as a cacophony erupted from the forest. The wildlife feared for their lives as the tension filled the air. The enemy approached Buck with no mercy at the speed of light. Intuitively, Buck crashed to the ground and avoided the blow as the wolf plunged mercilessly into a rocky outcrop. Excruciating pain overwhelmed the wolf but he did not wish to give up. With

increasing rage, the wolf ran towards Buck and struck him right in the chest. He was thrust onto a lone rock and the wolf pounced onto Buck and sank his teeth deep into his flesh. Buck yelped in agony as blood gushed out of his wound. Buck thought it was over for him but subconsciously he still had some fight left in him. He kicked his front left into the wolf’s raging head causing him to recoil back in distress. Buck’s wild primitive instinct kept him motivated for this fight. This was Buck’s opportunity and he rocketed at the wolf, jumping into the air alongside the enemy. They started to battle on their front legs. This battle was like no other. It was a turning point for Buck. Buck knew all too well that he had to

keep his stamina to survive this vicious creature. Buck continued to pursue the wolf with all of his strength and might. Buck violently pushed the wolf into the ground, threw himself on the animal and dug his teeth deeper and deeper into the wolf’s trembling neck. The wolf’s neck was shattered like glass and his bones crunched under Buck’s angry bite. He should have ended it there. The call of the wild overcame Buck as he continued to sink his teeth deeper and deeper into the neck of the wolf. The neck of the wolf was severed as Buck’s determination gave him the victory he desired. The neck was sliced off and blood spurted out as if it were a fountain. Slumped lifelessly on the blood drenched ground, the head of the wolf flew mercilessly into the air and landed in an unknown location. Buck trudged over to find his trophy and saw the disfigured face of the wolf; it was barely recognisable. Its final look was visible as if begging for mercy. Buck now considered himself a true wolf. The calling of the wild had truly taken over him as he limped away towards the beginning of a new life in the wild.
