“Underwater Experiments” microfiction challenge
She maneuvered underwater like a mermaid. She took to it naturally. The task at hand, the dare . . . Hold her breath for six minutes. Easy Peasy, she thought.
She flailed about rhythmically, flowing with the current. She smiled at the fish that swam by, encouraging her confidence.
A sudden tremor in her legs . . . A hiccup in the plan. Four minutes passed but she was losing air. Could she? Would she . . . Make it?
This, we’ll never know.
This is my contribution to end the Microfiction Addiction “Underwater Experiments” challenge in A Cornered Gurl. We had a great turnout with fourteen submissions, all of which, have been published and can be found by visiting our “Community” tab in the publication. It was a fun challenge and I am glad many took part in it.

It’s raining a lot here and we’re loving it.

I hear you. I don’t care for rain during Winter months because that usually means ice the next day or that night when it freezes over. This weather is crazy.

I hope you haven’t been overwhelmed by snow. Australia has been in drought for so many years that the rain is most welcome. We’ll lose enthusiasm if there are floods.

Not overwhelmed by the snow. It’s been so bitterly cold that I’d welcome a ton of snow, to be honest. It’s supposed to snow tonight and tomorrow morning. I am glad you guys are getting the rain you need.
