IS IT SAFE?
‘Is it safe?’
Natasha looked at the flimsy boat
with trepidation. They were supposed to
sit on those flimsy wooden struts? They
would certainly have numb bums after a few minutes. She sniffed.
The smell of the resin and the wood impregnated her senses and stayed
with her as her eyes roamed the horizon.
The still blue water was an unknown quantity, deep, dangers lurking
underneath the calm exterior.
Mark looked at his niece. If only he had been able to have children he
would have shared this moment with them but now Natasha looked very
nervous.
‘Climb in, darling.’

Hmm, the water seems calm but I definitely get a sense of unease from Natasha. I hope their adventure goes well!
ReplyDeleteHmm, I don't think she is too anxious to get into that boat and I don't think I would be either! Great story Sally and so well done!
ReplyDeleteDear Sally,
ReplyDeleteAt least Mark and Natasha have each other. Nicely done.
Shalom,
Rochelle
After the boating adventure I told you about in my story, I think she'd we wise to stay on terra firma!

A a person not comfortable on water. I'd say run!!! :) Very nicely done, a hint of fear, and yet a perfectly innocent setting!
ReplyDeleteUncle and niece--both not up to mutual expectations, I think. Good story.
ReplyDeleteNice job. Paddling was a big part of our summer. I say go for it, Natasha!
