One:

free, whimsical, scampering over thorny bushes but never spilling a drop of blood.
Two:

silent, tearing up sheets of newspaper
Three:

basking in the horrid sunlight, washing in waves of venom
Four:

screaming, flinching, gasping at the slightest ghost around the corner
Five:

wheeling away from the bedsheets

Haha, thank you! To be honest, I wrote this a long time ago, and I still don't really know what it's about. :)
