white curtains bellow from an open window
the villain has the hero cornered
who manages to escape out a window,
when the bad guy kicks the door
the drapes move wildly
the low streams of Brahms' cello
along with the wind whistling noisily
calms the atmosphere down to a reverie
while the veil ripples gently
white curtains anticipate police catching up soon

Those windows are disclosing quite a crime.
Love the powerful use of the word "veil" and how it seems to come alive in the energy of the atmosphere!
You always take me somewhere unexpected, you're quite the thriller ;)
windows, the silent witness
I can see the scene playing on the television.
I imagine delicate, lovely curtains and a place of calm. The aggression taking place at the place really jars. Very effective.
Interesting.
I loved how you made the white curtains a major character in this adventure. You really brought them to life, and that is such a unique perspective. Loved it!
bollywood movie from a Curtains perspective, very innovative....
I could see these windows on my tv and I think the idea of the curtains being a witness to the crime is neat.
interesting point of view, these curtains can tell a story, much like a person
tells a compelling story with strong images.
You have painted the scene wonderfully with your words. I love the billowing curtains.

Loved this, very cinematic!
Effective and interesting take on the prompt. What the window and curtains could tell the police. Wow.
what an imaginative take on the prompt. your words are so full of life and movement!
Interesting take on the prompt. Remind me of a lot of tv shows ... where the window is the star.
ooh, thats different :)
Very interesting - love the images. The white curtains do not end up being surrunder, but instead escapte. Nice twist.

But maybe the window is just a decoy,
The villain poised behind the door,
Ready to pounce.
