Having reached U there are not many more letters to go in the A-Z challenge, and as this is Friday I am starting with a 100 word story inspired by a photograph on Rochelle's blog - https://rochellewisofffields.wordpress.com/
This is the photo
and this is my story
UNDERSEA LIFE
Whew! that was close!
I
surfaced carefully enough, invisible against the snow in my polar bear furs. It
was bone-numbingly cold but we need the fresh meat, and I moved so stealthily
that the seal never suspected I was there.
I swear I
didn’t make a sound, but suddenly their lights appeared over the ridge.
I hid in
a snowdrift until they’d gone, then I dived head-first through the hatch and
here I am. I’m sure they didn’t see me, but I think the seal’s blood has left a
trail.
You'd better start the
engines – we'll have to move on.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Continuing the UNDERSEA theme, having gone UP Mount Teide in yesterday’s post, we mustn’t forget that
its steep rocky slope also goes down
One of
the chief tourist attractions of Tenerife is the clear water that surrounds the island and which is home to many creatures from tiny fish to huge whales, On any given day there will be scores of divers exploring the UNDERSEA
WORLD.

If you don’t fancy being that UP CLOSE and personal with fish, moray
eels and octopus, there are glass-bottomed boats and even a yellow submarine, which starts its tourist trips from Marina San Miguel by Amarillo Golf.
And to end today's post - UNUSUAL
sights are always fascinating but it’s the small oddities that catch my
attention - how's this for a spot of UP-PARKING?
Love the way you are linking your story each week to the A-Z as well as to the picture clue. Another great story, Liz.
ReplyDeleteRegarding your last photo, there is a garage near us with an old delivery van perched at a jaunty angle on the roof. Not quite sure what it is meant to imply about their services but it is certainly eye-catching.
Thanks aw - there's no way I could manage two posts in one day, or expect/hope my followers ro read both, so this was the only solution! Thanks for sticking with me.
DeleteThe car in my photo is in a container depot/truck stop so has no bearing on their business!
Way to mix it up!
ReplyDeleteHi dawn- had to be done! Have a good weekend.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a submariner espionage story is taking place in the background.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking more of survivors of an alien invasion, but feel free to write your own story!
DeleteLife under the sea is so strange and beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI'm holding my breath after reading your story. I assume your character was too!

I hope my character is in a submarine and only holdinghis breath from nerves rather than necessity!
DeleteAh, we better take care when we are alone with hostile surroundings,
ReplyDeleteYou never know what's on the far side of the ridge.
DeleteDear Liz,
ReplyDeleteIntriguing undersea piece. That would be my way to travel. ;) Very visual and well written.
Shalom,
Rochelle
