Writing Exercise: The color blue
Back to "Writing Exercise"
I am sitting at the beach. Sunshine. Not a cloud.
The rolling waves are mesmerizing.
Then I see it.
Arms.
Waiving.
I cannot hear them.
I cannot tell who they are.
Don't care. Either.
A step.
A gallop.
A dive.
It's cold, the waves push me away.
But I get to them.
Limp in my arms.
But breathing. Not that at this moment I can tell.
At the shore, I notice the blue of their lips.
Turning purple, then red.
They'll be fine.
So will I.
Not based on real events.
