Freedom - Fiftywords story contest
The freezing river lurked in front of him. They wouldn't stop chasing. He was losing ground. Nowhere else to go. Nowhere to hide.
He jumped in, gasping from the cold. He was not going to make it. He could hear the dogs bark.
'I'll die a free man, at least'.

I can see the imagery and feel a bit of the anxiety as well. Good work on this one!
Thank you! Only 50 words is quite a challenge.
Nice story
Nice work!
Wow! You really did capture a moment in time, here. Nicely done.
The tension and anxiety are clear in your writing. Really pushed the story along. Good job.
reminds of a movie : Beyond the enemy line.
My heart also goes to the survivors of WW1 & 2
Cool
Reminds me of Pompeii, the movie
The slave at the end of the movie had declared the same lines
Good stuff
