"And so, you'll notice on your right, Loch Nagar where the two clans of the McKenzies and the McDougalls fought a bloody battle on its shores in the 1300s. No monsters though! It's rumoured certain times of the year you can hear the battle...holy shit! What the fuck is that? It's like a giant wave! Is that water? Pete, what is that? Shit! It's going to hit us! Fuck! What can we do? Okay, those of you on the top deck, I don't want you to panic but you need to move. Now! And people here, close the windows! NOW!"

I wrote this to a prompt:

You’re in the tour bus when you see it in the distance—a series of rolling clouds, like a tidal wave made out of water vapor.

    That's a lot of panic in so few words. Bravo!

  • Cindy Calderabout a year ago

    That was a thrilling ride.

  • Mark Gagnonabout a year ago

    Never happened on any tour bus I ever drove. All I had were people with guns.

  • Cathy holmesabout a year ago

    Okay, that would be terrifying.

  • Lana V Lynxabout a year ago

    This was a powerful Drabble, Rachel. I love how you took the prompt further, to suggest there might be a monster on the lake after all.

  • John Coxabout a year ago

    Wow, that went south in a hurry! Can’t imagine that turning out well! Ole Nessie’s finally tired of the mystery and is coming out for a wee visit? Loved it, Rachel!

  • Not me thinking the Loch Ness monster appeared suddenly 😅😅
