Rebel

K ’12. Ink & watercolour sketch from Julia’s photo prompt.

She wasn’t sure what the attraction was. It had always been there: even as a girl, she’d stood for hours at the railings of a high bridge. There was some indefinable quality, a thrill she couldn’t explain.

She looked down into the depths knowing it would take just one little step, one little push. A frisson ran down her spine. Did she want to die? No. She loved life far too much.

Was it the risk? That maybe somewhere inside her there was a little rebel who just might push her over? To fly through the air, only the once?

On Earth, but Not Quite

There’s something about the water –

that solitary kind of peaceful feeling.

You’re on Earth,

but not quite.

– John C. Reilly

As a water lover, I just couldn’t resist this quote.

The Weekly Photo Challenge: Solitary

Like this:

We are all sentenced

to solitary confinement

inside our own skins,

for life.

– Tennessee Williams
