Angel Flight (Like An Angel)
by Miles H. Rost
Opal Creek Pool was breathtaking.
A natural deep pool carved from bedrock at the bottom of a 15-foot waterfall. It was deep enough to dive and not hit bottom.
But for the group of teens from South Salem High School, they weren’t paying attention to the surroundings. They were focused on Angela Beach, the supposed school recluse, standing on the edge of the waterfall in a stunning bikini.
She dove in, her hands pointing just like a professional, and she quickly disappeared into the water. All the teens, especially the men, would swear she was like an angel taking flight.
Great imagery, especially ‘her hands pointing just like a professional’. That’s the sort of little detail that makes such a difference to a story.
It sounds like the bikini won over the waterfall.
I like this take. Very different.
From the recluse to being the centre of attention! Hallelujah!
Here’s mine!
Such an attention grabber. 🙂 Well told.
She showed them. Lovely descriptions.
So well described. I felt I was there. I love the recluse character who was so brave!
Yes, it would be the men. What a wonderful way to enjoy the waterfalls diving like an angel.
What a creative take on the prompt. I can just imagine the scene, the boys’s eyes drawn to Angela, and Angela herself – a recluse who turns out to be something else altogether. Very good.
