Pursue of Pursued
by Gerry Ainger
His legs were pedaling with all his might, sweat beading down his forehead, dripping into his eyes, stinging and blurring his vision. He kept looking back, over his shoulder, he could not see any sign of his pursuers, but he could hear them. The rumble of wheels running over the damp stony track. The voices shouting out after him.

I am a person with plenty of time on my hands. In the last couple of years I have started these blogs/posts mainly to speak my mind and generally release some pent-up frustration.
In my early years I played the guitar ( and still do) for several bands, covering various styles, rock and roll, country and middle of the road.I played as a soloist, writing my own songs, lyrics and poems, and started in folk clubs. So I thought this might be a good way to express myself and hope that I can pass on to other people. While I have been doing this I have also discovered other people whose writing I also like so am learning as I travel this road to discovery.
Update… Have now posted a few and received some good responses, and discovered other good pages. my music had become a little more prominent due to frequenting folk clubs and jamming sessions.
Thank you and Please enjoy..

Nice you were the one who wrote that! Well this is so well-written!!
Good luck!
Thank you very much, all support welcome, can only hope.. thank you…always caring
That’s enough to get me interested and think what happens next. Just a few lines to create tension reads brilliantly.
You can read the whole piece,if you havent done so yet, from the links..thanks so much for your visit and comment..;)
Gerry, as I wrote on the other page, this was excellently executed. I did figure out somewhere along the way, closer to the end, that it was likely a race and not a pursuer-prey situation, but I like the analogy because the front runner would have felt like prey, the one the others need to beat. What I liked most about this is how deftly you took me into this world and made me feel each strained muscle, each effort, each moment of tension. The final run was heart poundingly real, even though I’ve never been in the cyclist world, I could still identify and feel it all. Wow! Fine writing, that’s all I can say!
Judee, what can I say, with praise like this, I am truly honoured and bemused and humbled as to people liking it.To get the praise like this is beyond any dreams I had. I was not even sure about posting it.
I did comment back on the other page to you, thanks for that.
I am so happy that people were taken along and if only for a short while did not realise the chase. Thank you so much…..fingers crossed now..;)
