A Sea of Change!

Something my oldest daughter wrote when she was a teenager for a High school writing assignment! A beautiful peace of work! I will be publishing it one of my books! :-)

A Sea of Change!

People. Everywhere.

I’m trying to walk through the hallways, but I go nowhere, lost in a sea. I’m dragged down into the depths of it. Down, down, down. Stay to the right! is screamed from the sky. The sky I wish I could reach. The walls greet me violently, and I welcome it, but I must leave it behind quickly and continue down, deeper into the sea. The sea of bodies.

A large group is at the bottom of the well, staring down at me. I try to get around them, but I’m pushed by the current into them, then pushed away, a mere ping pong ball in the masses. My head down, I push forward again, and finally I break free. Stumbling, I arrive. A name that’s never been mine glares at me from the wall. Several names do, ordering people where to go. But one in particular, a name for me, but one that’s never been mine, tells me where I am to be. Everyone is told where to be. Many don’t notice, or some disobey. I don’t. I sit, and I wait. Glad to be safe from the sea!

I've been writing as long as I could hold a crayon! Remember writing my first story like it was yesterday at 5. I remember the details of the day, location, time, excitement & where the story was preserved for all time! Lots Born From That!
