Writing Wednesday

Thanks to all my wonderful friends and family for providing weeks of prompt entertainment. This week was rather challenging for whatever reason, but I thought the prompt was absolutely adorable :).

Collision Course














Pic from J. Bowman

Screaming down the zipline, colors blurring together; like paint on a child’s masterpiece.

Jungle sounds surround me, masked by the wild pounding of my heart and wind rushing past my ears.

Suddenly he’s there, eyes wide.

We’re going to collide.

Time freezes; movement only in slow-motion.

My mind shrieks; my mouth utters but a whisper.

Or maybe I cried out in sheer terror.

Gratefully, only he and I will ever know.

But, as abruptly as he appeared, he’s gone.

Silently slipping away, deep into the tangle of green and humidity.

An experience he won’t remember.

An experience I won’t forget.
