&quot;She would&#039;ve been a good woman, if it had been somebody there to shoot her every minute of her life.&quot;<br /> <br /> <br /> -Flannery O&#039;Connor, A Good Man Is Hard To Find


Captain hook jumps
As the beasts jaws snap after him.
Tick.
He clambers away, flailing and diving in the sea
Like a fish out of water.
Tick.
He screams in terror as the beast
Gains on him, it’s jaws like an endless pit
That could swallow the world.
Tick.
He keeps clambering away, but the waves push him back,
Carrying him in one last flight into the beasts jaws.
Tick.
Peter laughs. It’s nice to live forever.

In this piece, I was trying to convey Hook as, in a way, every one of us, because we run from time, only to be caught and swallowed by it. The crocodile chasing him represented time.
