The Long Hike

As my friends and I walk through the thick bleached sugary slushy snow, I can see the pale blue sky disappear as the sapphire blue takes over the radiant skyline. The tremendous mountain reminds me of a scoop of ice cream with chocolate drizzling. I can hear the blustery wind howl like a wolf, as we plead for a warm fire. We feel extremely exhausted from this never ending hike across this isolated mountain. Our faces quivering from this wintress snow. I wonder when we will reach the summit of the mountain.
The Thunderous Wave

As the wild wet wave barrel’s over me like a sparkling, soggy, scroll, I can see the fierce, fluffy, foamy purl white lip close on me like a snow avalanche, behind me, I see the intense azure blue, water as it crawls above me like a tunnel. I smell the natural brackish fresh air zoom past me. I taste the salty, sandy, sea water spraying everywhere like it’s raining. I hear threatening crashes from other waves and kids giggling in the distance but to me in sounds like mice squeaking. I feel petrified but also eager to try and take on this thunderous wave.
