She could hear the storm as it approached. The bellowing roar of the thunder, and the crack of lightening off in the distance. She loved the evening thunderstorms that rolled in off the bay. The change of temperature on those hot humid nights was refreshing. Walking down to the beach she stripped off her clothing, knowing that the cover of darkness would shadow her. Tiny droplets of rain started trickling at first, washing away the stickiness that clung to her skin. It was only a matter of minutes before it began to pour. Opening her mouth to the sky she tasted the warm moisture. As she laid down, it felt gritty and rough, but slowly her body was sucked into the soft salty sand as large puddles of water swirled around her. Closing her eyes she took in the sounds of the water lapping the shore, the boom of the thunder, followed by the clap of the lightening. Each time envisioning the beautiful blue glow that would shine off the bay as it lit up the sky. Breathing deep, she enjoyed every moment, because she knew it would pass as quickly as it had come.*****************************************

Yet another wonderful piece this week that's truly sensual and compelling without being specifically about sex. Well done. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteThis was wonderfully descriptive, managing to talk all about the location of the story without simply listing attributes. Not that it wasn't sexy too, just that it could probably be used in a masterclass about how to show, not tell.
ReplyDeleteOversexed Librarian- Thank you. :)
ReplyDeleteNaughty Lexi-I live by the bay, and I have walked down during a storm. I haven't stripped down, but I have entertained the thought a few times. So, I guess I pictured this person as myself and my fantasy.
I agree with the others, the imagery, the sucking of the sand as it washes away below bare skin, the blue glow, the power of the ocean is all a terrific entry for this week.
ReplyDeleteI love it.
Just like summer love... passing as quickly as it comes.
ReplyDeleteI like!
