Time Waits for No One.......................................July Exercise
Thief of Time.................July Exercise
Okay guys, Part 2 of Swirling Winds (m)
Hope y'all like this. Let me know what you think.
A few miles out of town two state troopers passed her at a high rate of speed, and a few minutes later two rescue squads from a neighboring county sped by. Sydney wondered what in the world was going on. A sense of foreboden (is that the word I want?) washed over her. Something in the pit of her stomach told her that she wasn't going to like what she was about to see. Very seldom was her instinct wrong.

Ahead, sudden brake lights flashed their warning. "Christ," said Chance as she scrambled to unlodge her bare foot from underneath her knee, leg sticking to the seat in the suffocating heat. She hit the brakes hard, willing the old car to stop in time.
The traffic wasn't moving.

Sorry to be so late, but I am swamped at work right now!
Ozarker--what a great piece with a very interesting POV. I am going through something fairly similar with my grandmother and I can really relate to everything you wrote.
savannah--your misty mountain grove is a wonderful place to which I could run away. I love the Celtic imagery and almost became a druid after reading your piece!

Hi, new to this board, July's writing exercise (m)
I hope this is what you had in mind. It's kind of short, but here goes.
The clouds had darkened to an ominous black. They rolled like tumbleweeds across the sky. Thunder rumbled with every flash of lightning. The air sizzled with electricity. Rain raced across the fields in blinding sheets. The wind howled horrifically, sending the rain in horizontal sheets instead of vertical.
