Woman Lost

She hurried down the street calling for her children, she reached the river bank and had a horrible feeling she wouldn't like what she saw. She was pacing back and forth staring at the water waiting for something to happen. Just then she saw a man and ran towards him. "Excuse me sir." ,she called as she got closer to him. "Sir! Do you have just a minute to help me find my children?" But he didn't respond just walked away. She let one tear fall and then another before she was uncontrollably sobbing. She heard a sound and looked up, there were her children in the middle of the river waving at her. They seemed to be calling for her to join them. She got up and started wading towards them soon the river was pulling at her feet as she swam to where she last saw he children. The next thing she knew something had a hold of her feet and was pulling her down. "No I have to get them", She thought silently, "they'll drown without me". As the last of her breath was released she opened her eyes to see her children laughing at her then swimming away.

  1. What an imaginative, sad take on this piece. I do see a fretful mother when I look at it now though.
