3WW: Downhill / Freak / Sliver

It's been a busy week, so not a lot of thought has gone into my 3WW submission, but at least I'm giving it a  go :o)


*****

Well what can I say it was all downhill from here.....after getting the courage to go skiing, what else could I say.  I hop off the ski lift and look for the beginner's run.  Just as I near what I believe to be it, I slip to the side and down I go!  Swoosh! "Oh my God!  What the hell!  How do I stop!"  

Thoughts are rushing through my mind - this can't possibly be the easy slope!  Oh gosh, a tree, how the hell do I turn in these freaking skis!!   Thud! I drop my ass into the snow in hopes of slowing down before I hit that inevitable tree.  However, I'm not slowing, what the hell am I to do, I'm going to become some tree's new human bark.....I'm acting like a complete freak with my arms flailing and me screaming at the top of my lungs, and no one around to help!  As I near the tree, I try leaning to the left, I am within feet of the tree and just miss it by a sliver!  Just as I think I'm in the clear, up ahead is a ski jump, oh crap, why the hell can't I slow down....nearing the jump, I brace myself, I am approaching the jump, nearing the end of it, I feel like I'm flying, then look down and realize the ground is coming up at me.....BOOM!

I bolt upright, sweating.  Thank God it was just a dream!

One Minute Writer: Today's Prompt - Stone

Sitting on the edge of the fountain, pondering life, I see something glittering in the water.  I lean in to take a closer look, then reach into the tepid water and wrap my fingers around the sparkling unknown.  My hand retreats from the water.  I unwrap my fingers one at a time to unveil the treasure they hold, a stone with amethyst like hues.

3WW: Naughty / Tactic / Zenith

She sat, beginning her daily meditation

Thinking of her childhood

The times when she was naughty

The tactics she used to get out of trouble

 

Now gown up

Having learned the art of meditation

She hopes to reach the point of zenith
