Sudden Drop

     






55 words. It's fun exciting and definitely a challenge making sure to use no more than fifty five words and no less of course and you must read the ones of your fellow writers. Gmans Place Let the G-Man know if you write one Why Gman's? Place because he's the Man who came up with this great Idea.
                           
                                                          

We hadn't been to the beach in years, or this beach anyway.  The pier was rickity it  swayed back and fourth as you took each step.  The gaps between the planks of the pier gave you the willies when you passd over them.  Waves crashing below the pier were deep, and churning against the rocks.

Ooohh... awesome imagery!! And though you are talking about beaches and waves, this immediately reminded me of walking the bridge at Royal Gorge.. and seeing the deep chasm from between the planks of wood... SCARYYYY!!!

LOVED and enjoyed your 55, my friend... gave me the same exhilarating feel!!

But the trouble with blog comments is . . . they never offer "critique" only praise. It's considered bad from to say anything adverse. Your para of description is evocative and evokes the wobbly pier extremely well.
