Jumanji was created by Chris Van Allsburg, owned by Sony Pictures.
Since the new Jumanji movie came out, I felt motivated to write something after thinking back to the original. Both versions are great, love them.
Also, sorry about the format. Wasn't sure how to make it work the way I wanted it to.
The Jungle
l
Hush!
The Jungle is quiet. Always so silent.
It is not odd, it is not strange.
The Jungle is quiet for she has no reason to be loud.
l
The Lion lounges in the sun. Not sleeping, but not quite awake either.
The Monkeys sway from the branches. They do not bother chittering amongst themselves.
The Hunter sits listlessly on a tree stump, his gun resting on his thigh.
Not even the Mosquitoes make a single buzz from the shades of the leaves.
l
Then, a sudden flash and swirl of green.
And in an instant, the Jungle is brought to life.
The screams and cries of her various inhabitants echo for miles and miles.
A Player has arrived.
l
The Jungle is loud. A cacophony of shrill voices.
The Lion pounces, the Monkeys chase.
The Hunter stalks, the Mosquitoes feast.
The Jungle is truly alive and well.
l
Perhaps, even within all the animosity and hostility of the Jungle
and her inhabitants, there is love somewhere deep inside them all.
The animals, the plants, the insects, and even the Hunter,
they all love the Players.
l
Without them, the Jungle has no purpose.
