One entry from Random Freewrite

A close friend of mine, Justin Thyme,  was kind enough send in his take on the "Random Freewrite" post! I've highlighted the words that were required for the free-write. Here is his short story.







The once was a boy named Roy. Roy was a boy of 13 and loved swimming in the ocean. He once saw a clown-fish and today he was hoping to see some more. He swam out past the waves and began his decent. He was chasing a fish when he had to go up for air. He went up to the surface, took a couple of gasps, and eager to dive back down, and plunged below the surface again. Immediately he was hit with shock. A 20 foot great-white shark was swimming leisurely below him in the lime green water. He was amazed and frightened by the sheer size of the beast. He swam slowly toward the shore slowly very aware of the giant slowly swimming in his direction. Now Roy had seen his fair share of shark films and had never been scared of them until now.  He knew from watching documentaries that the shark could swim much faster than him and that it would be better not to get it excited. He was now nearing the waves and the shark did not seem to want Roy there so it sped up, and as it did, Roy did, too. He quickly caught a wave and body boarded into shallower water. Once he was on shore, he saw the massive shark in a wave about to break, and knew he would never forget that day.
