The Runout

By Qurious

Take.
Your. Time.

Focus.
Breathe.

Chart your path.
Plot every move.

Now.
Take position.
Breathe.
Go.

Draw back.
Slide forward.
Tock.
Whoosh.
Drop.
Yes.

Again.
Breathe.
Go.
Drop.
Yes.

Breathe. Breathe. Breathe.
Last one.
Breathe.
Tock.
Roll.
Drop.
YES.

    I enjoyed this because, as you stated below, it's open to interpretation. I read it several times with that in mind. Very hypnotic :)

    thank you! :) it's open to your own interpretation, of course, but to me, it's a pool game :)
