In the corner was a raccoon! It was in danger. A leaf was hanging out of its mouth: it was choking. Slowly I crept forward and eased the leaf out its mouth. It was free.

    Great opener, James! Your second sentence is a ‘corker’ as Pie Corbett would say.

    Minor grammar stuff – I’ve put in a suggested punctuation change & a spelling correction. Have a game of spot the difference!

    Great stuff.
