One word–shore

October 26, 2010 By pia

You’re given one word and one minute to write.  It was my first time.  Break please!

She walks into the water which is chang­ing col­ors from sum­mer teal to win­ter gray. The waves are tiny. How much longer must she walk before she gets caught in a riptide?

    I like it too. Both the piece and the concept. I think I’ma run with it.

    I’d have done a redneck version. “You shore made that look easy, Miss Pia.” 🙂

    I actually do like the one word writing prompt idea.

About Me

I live in the South, not South Florida, a few blocks from the ocean, and two blocks from the main street. It's called Main Street. Amazes me too.

I'm from New York. I mostly lived in the Mid-Upper East Side, and the heart of the Upper West Side. It amazes me when people talk about how scared they were of Times Square in the 1970's and 1980's.

As my mother said: "know the streets, look out and you'll be fine."

What was scary was the invasion of the crack dens into "good buildings in good 'hoods." And the greedy landlords who did everything they could to get good tenants out of buildings.

I'm a Long Island girl, and proud of it now.
Then I hated everything about the suburbs. Yet somehow I lived in a few great Long Island Sound towns after high school.
