Barbara Beacham is the kind host of Monday’s Finish the Story. Every week a photo and the first sentence of the story is shared and the challenge is to finish the story in 100 – 150 words. Thanks Barbara for this week’s photo and the challenge.
Finish the story begins with: “When the team heard the dam explode, they knew they had limited time to make it to safety.

They paddled faster. The angry current made their work effortless. For the first time they could feel the force of gravity. Water was gushing like a death warrant.
They neared the horizon. Everyone knew it was going to be their last breath. The raft was going to submit itself to the thundering noise. Everyone started shouting but the mighty current soon engulfed them. Everything was now calm.
A loud voice shouted, “Aaand…Cut! Great shot, guys.”
A spot boy ran with some dry towels in his hands towards the descent.
What a good story Norma! 🙂 Liked that this was a movie set! Thank you for participating in the MFtS challenge! Stay tuned for the good eats on the next challenge… Be well… ^..^
