Marine Life

Flash Fiction Friday 55 is a story written in exactly 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. Let the G-Man know Gman's Place if you write one Why Gman's? Place because he's the Man who came up with this great Idea.

The artist's picture was incredible. I found it to be unbelievable that someone picking up a paint brush could paint such a striking image as this was. The killer whale stood out as a bruised thumb would throb on a carpenters hand. The sea turtle gliding through the water seamed as a bird in flight.
