EDEN RECALLS A DISASTER.
“…and then I saw it…”
As I adore my view of the beach, getting my summerly tan, I start to wonder… ‘where has all the water gone?’ and then I saw it.
Hi my name is Amanda, this is my story of the most tragic day of my life.
It’s an ordinary day, kids playing in the water, women getting their summerly tans than BOOM! The water gets sucked into the distance. Nobody thinks anything about it, until 10 minutes later… screams could be heard from all over the city. The biggest tsunami could be seen a mile away, everyone runs for their dear life.

An excellent description of a tsunami, Eden and what a good use of the prompt. I particularly like the way you describe how people were just doing what they normally do when water disappeared and that they did not think anything more of it until 10 minutes later when the tsunami arrived. I really like the sentence. ’The water gets sucked into the distance’. Such a clear way to describe it.
Eden, I’m always intrigued with the way different young writers interpret the same prompt. I wonder what experience you’ve had that made you think of this idea. I sincerely hope you never have to run for your life in such an event.
Thanks for sharing,
