Star Gazing

As I TRAVERSE from one place to another. I sat down to get some rest underneath the pale moonlight. Next, I looked up to gaze at the stars. And ASTRAL thoughts bombarded my mind. I pondered if there was an unknown ENTERPRISE beyond the sky. All of a sudden, I heard a subtle noise. PERNICIOUS worries of being harmed vexed my mind. I wondered if I was in danger. Fear gripped my soul. So I reached in my bag to find my flashlight. With trembling hands, I shined the light in the direction of an old willow tree. Beads of sweat ran down my nervous VISAGE. As I moved closer, I noticed a squirrel scurrying away.Then I focused on a dark red BLEMISH on the tree trunk. Fear consumed my soul. It aimed to DAMPEN any ounce of courage that I possessed. I felt as though I needed a SENTRY of soldiers to protect me. But in the meantime, I ran to my Jeep. And high tailed it out of there much quicker than I came. 1 Sentry, 2 Pernicious,3 Enterprise, 4 Dampen, 5 Blemish, 6 Traverse, 7 Astral, 8 Visage Contest: Eight Word Challenge 11 Sponsor: John Hamilton Judged 11/13/2020 Alexis Y. 11/10/2020
