The tunnel swoops in and scoops me up
As my model stands blinking at the echo of my last words,
‘Run into the light now!’
I look down at my body from above;
That wasn’t what I meant.

For this week’s challenge, we were to write 33 words as a prelude to these 5 – ‘That wasn’t what I meant.’
Welcome back, Potts!
Thank you 🙂 Sometimes you just gotta dive back into the deep end even if you’re not sure what’s under the surface…
Oh, no. That cannot be a good place to be watching from.
I gotta say, I’d be pretty pissed…
I gotta ask. What color was the light?
Well honestly, since I’m kind of a dork, I’ve always pictured it as the green of a retractor beam 🙂
awesome!
This comment makes me love it even more:)
Nice…! And so good to be “seeing” you again dear =)
Well thank you, m’dear. Sometimes life forces a hiatus on you 😉
ohhh…that was sudden scoop up..

Lots of mistaken requests for death takes on this prompt. I love your twist on it.
Ha, I noticed that myself. I guess that’s the one thing you really don’t want to end up with by accident 😉 Thank you very much, and thank you for reading.
I love that first line – very cool.
Well yay, thank you very much 🙂

Ha, I’d never thought of that, but it would certainly make for an interesting twist
