Mid morning on the beachfront, crushed shells and white sand felt good on his paws. The sun starting its normal routine of warming up the terrain, not to hot that Shifty couldnt handle, just right to warm him thoroughly against the cool coastal breeze. The winds had changed again. He knew there was a storm brewin in the gulf. 'A bit early this year this year' he thought to himself. "Time to test the waters." He said to himself. Barreling toward the salty water, he dove in washing of the sand in his fur. This would be his last swim before the storm hit. Shifty went deeper to see if he could catch a fish for breakfast. There were fish but none that he particularly liked the taste of. As he was coming back up for air the water changed, it lost its saltiness and instead it was very sweet. Nearing the surface another difference he noticed was the water was really flowing. He only got a quick breath in before he was caught in the hasty current and dragged back under. Slammed into the bottom, 'the bottom' this wasnt his normal beach anymore something happened. He had to get to shore. SLAM!!! Right into a boulder. Shifty didnt see it in the white rushing rapids. Twisting and rolling gasping for breath he managed to catch hold of another stone jutting out. Slowly crawling his way towards the bank he was hurt he knew that much but how much damage he didnt know yet all he knew was his refreshing swim was quickly turning into a whole new ordeal. Climbing out of the water with some difficulty, his breathing was laborious probably one or two broken ribs. Panting on the bank of this whitewater river he got a quick glimpse of a land he had never seen before he passed out of exhaustion. --- Speech. |
Whitewater
A river valley between two mountain ranges. A powerful river flows through rocky terrain, creating strong currents and dangerous rapids. Precious gold ore can be found in the river for those brave enough. The forests surrounding abound with life.
[AW] Just a refreshing swim? [TRESPASS]
