Short Story The Bbuck

Jamie swallowed as he slowly pulled the trigger. Everything seemed to go into slow motion. Jamie's heart was pounding so fast, it seemed like it might explode if it went any faster. The butt of the gun kicked him in the crook of his shoulder, but Jamie didn't notice. He didn't see the bullet until the buck gave a little jump, staggering only a little bit. Jamie sat as still as a stone, not even daring to breathe. The buck collapsed, like Jamie knew it would. It was a clean shot and Jamie knew it. The buck didn't suffer much, and Jamie was glad for that, but, he couldn't even keep his thoughts straight. He really shot his first deer! The doe sprinted off towards the woods, and Jamie finally breathed again. His hands were clammy and shaking
and he couldn't stop it. Jamie blinked constantly, his heart still pounding faster than it ever had. Even though Jamie had already shot, he was still shaking. He had done it! Jamie couldn't believe he had shot his first deer! He couldn't wait to tell his father all about it. Jamie lept up and set the gun down carefully. He slowly walked out of the hunting shack, happier than ever. The dry leaves crunched under his feet as he walked. He tried his best not to run over to his kill. How proud his father would be!
