Here we are at the penultimate day of the A to Z Challenge! Today I have a drabble for you. A drabble is a story told in precisely 100 words.
Today's word: YELL
Enjoy!
Yell
The blissful calm of the beach was stunning. Octavia took a deep breath, allowing the
salty tang to fill her until she felt ready to burst.
Gentle ocean waves lapped at the grains of
sand near her bare feet. She dipped a
toe in, and the chill sent an electric tingle through her body. The orange glow of dawn made everything new
with its enchanting light.
With a smile splitting her face nearly in
two, Octavia leaned back and let out a good, hearty yell. Not one of anger, but of exhilaration. She simply couldn’t contain the joy she felt.
That's what I do if my wife drags me on a thrill ride, but it's not in exhilaration - it's to keep from exploding.
ReplyDeleteThat does sound like a beautiful scene.
