Excellent piece. I second TadMack, it’s fab that the character is running from mediocrity (even though it catches up just the same …)

Isn’t it something how the cornfield is either a hideaway, or someplace to run to or away from? That’s in everyone’s pieces so far, it’s the weirdest thing. None of us just thought, “Oh, corn…”

I love that your character is running from mediocrity. Wish we could all run so well… Really well done!

You caught the prevailing mood wonderfully in this one Is. One of my favourite pieces so far, excellent.

Very nice arty piece, Isobel. And so I apologise that my comment will have nothing whatsoever to contribute to it……

Have you ever run through a cornfield? Really, it’s a serious matter. (My father-in-law is a corn farmer.) No matter how hard you try to avoid it, the leaves of the stalk slice right through you (think paper cut) and remember many of the leaves are right at eye level. Thus, the flickr photo brought back some painful memories! :-)
