Forest Fire

Animals were running past prey, ignoring the idea of an eat.
The woods were on fire, crackling, smoking and falling.
It was an avalanche of trees, and it was horrible.
Fox, deer, opossum, and turkey were running behind predators.
The goal was to get out before the smoke took them out.
It was terrifying and terrorizing, thanks to one insensitive human.
Who had not spent a few extra minutes making sure his fire was out.
