THIS WEEK’S 100WC BY JOEL.
Today I wandered to the river to take my dog Bandit for a walk. When we arrive I remember about the skimming competition.
“Should I enter?” I ask Bandit, he barks yes.
I start practising and Bandit chases my stone but loses his grip. The force of the water tumbles Bandit down the stream.
“Bandit!” I yell as he barks loudly.
I grab a nearby stick and reach towards him. Bandit frantically leaps into the air, he misses but tries again, this time he bites onto it and launches towards me for soggy cuddles.
“That was too scary!” I say.

Joel,
I was on the edge of my seat—frantic along with the narrator. I live the phrase: soggy cuddles to put me back at ease.
Keep writing.

What a beautiful photo and good story about you and Bandit.
Joel…I love the opening sentence in this. The word “wandered” straight away grabbed my attention. Other words you use like “frantically” also show a development in the language you are using to get our message across.
Absolutely love this Joel, well done and glad it ended with soggy cuddles 😊👍
