Truth or Dare, fiction
Shemar accepted Abby’s dare: taking a nude plunge from Devil’s Rock before any other hikers appeared.
He scurried up the trail, climbed to the jump site, then leapt.
When he surfaced, Abby was gone. So were his clothes.
But a family of five approached the clearing, iPhones at the ready.
Waterfall
“I see his footprints here,” the first cop said. They proceeded to beat back the brush along the river bank as the noise from the waterfall grew quite loud.
“I think I’m allergic to something,” said the second cop as he sneezed loudly.
“Gesundheit” was heard from behind the waterfall.
Waterfalls are like poetry
Unexpectedly
Falling into life
Ignoring all the strife
That says 'pay
attention" they say!
I don't
It won't
It goes its on beautiful way
As I try each and every day
To create from love
The words that fly like a dove
We flow together so.
Thank you , Justin !
