I know it's late, however, Susie's prompting urged this be done before I fell asleep.

Any thoughts on what happens next?

Sweet dreams.

Fine fiction is that which triggers the reader's imagination the most. This deserves a perfect mark for inciting imagination. R

And rated.

Thoth - Appreciate your comment. Find myself inventing the next 100 seconds...

another dream-inducer Rated!

This is awesome!! It sounds at first as if she knows something is coming and yet how could she know she would be attacked.
I love it! I find writing a story in 100 words is a great exercise~

Jon - Thanks, Jon and I did have a restless night's sleep...

Susie - Thank you so much! It is not as easy as it sounds and I could have written so much more and lost the essence of its vital simplicity.

I do not think I could do a 100. But in those 100 I hear and felt the water and air.

Well done..
HUGGGGGGG

Perfect, leaves so much to the imagination. ~R~

Linda - Thanks! Guess you could say, I am "testing the waters" here!

M.C. - Yes, I know and it's killing me not to write more than 100 words! Exercise in restricted thought!

Now that was a jolt! Very evocative in so many ways, and I think I'll be resisting urges to get out of my car.

Seriously, you have a dense concentration of images in this piece. Powerful.

This was great. Bare bones and exciting. Good Stuff!!

Oopsie.

Paul - Thanks very much for your awesome comment!

Scanner - Much appreciated as always!

Matt - Yep! Thanks for coming by! Was afraid I overstretched in my last comment to your recent post, which was incredible (yours!)

Nice! Just keep doing what you are doing!

Roger - Thanks very much for this fine encouragement!

nicely done!
i love the last line, about the brutal vertigo-inducing water
being soothing.

she should have a backstory, a crisis, whatever.
the water will somehow parallel it.

You cram a lot of story into your flash fiction, and I don't worry about what is left unsaid. Many writers would immediately go back a few weeks or days.

Would it be a cheap shot to write about the rescue attempt from a second person's perspective?

I have no clue, but please blogwhore if you go further with this!

Well done. R.

James - Thank you for your comment and suggestion. I wasn't sure how this would evolve...past or future or if it would fly somehow. I like your take on where it should go or should have been...diluting, perhaps, some future event/s.

Zumalicious - Thanks so much for your take on this and the input about going back to set the stage a bit. If you are asking if you might take a shot at the rescue attempt in your own 100 word flash fiction, I would be honored that you would. (keeping in mind or maybe just mine, that the rescue may be that of her own making and hers alone).

That was a surprise ending! Well done.

Procopius - Thanks much.

100 words can be so limiting, yet you have given us so much in them here.

Sheila - Thanks a lot for coming by! This is a tougher exercise than I first thought. I am usually too wordy!
