Jenny Matlock had a little something different planned for this week's Saturday Centus. "Your story must be written in first person AND must be exactly 100 words long. It can be fact or fiction.
So...
Exactly 100 words, first person, fact or fiction...What I did over my Summer Vacation. AND What I did over my Summer Vacation is the title of your essay not to be included in the 100 words! "

WHAT I DID OVER MY SUMMER VACATION
Tiny pebbles between my toes,
a precarious balancing act fighting to stay afloat on my two dollar raft,
watching a happy five year old throw rocks at the shore,
listening to the laughter of teenagers actually enjoying time with the family,
seeing my husband fall off his raft and get up laughing,
water splashing back and forth in a classic water battle,
sand castles formed with care being smashed by plastic bulldozers,
the warm summer sun shining down upon five happy people resting on towels in the sand,
a heavenly glimpse at the way life was and should always be.
I LOVE this week's prompt so much I think I will do another version of it later. I had another idea on what to write and I can't resist the urge. I'll update later!
