Welcome to Week 64 with me!
It's that simple.
Pichu heard the words but they didn't fully sink in. There had always been fish in the sea, so many fish you could run across their backs all the way up to the shore. True, there had been some bad days recently, but then the next day of fishing was fine. Now his mother's words frightened him. A horrible image flashed into his mind of a still, lifeless sea, an empty sea. And it made him panicky and hot.
Rules:
*Grab a book, any book.
*Turn to page 56.
*Find any sentence, (or few, just don't spoil it) that grabs you.
*Post it.
*Add your (url) post below in Linky. Add the post url, not your blog url.

Interesting snippet, Freda. Is he the son of a fishing family, I wonder? Or what words did his mother say? I may have to look into this one
ReplyDeleteI wonder what his mother said to upset him so. The thought of a lifeless sea is frightening.
ReplyDeleteI'm curious now...thanks for this tempting excerpt.
ReplyDeletethat certainly makes one think of what could happen.
