Here is this week’s entry into the weekly challenge brought to us by the lovely Rochelle Wisoff-Fields.
Here are the rules: Use the photo as inspiration, write a hundred(ish) words – and share! Here goes my offering for this week – and I welcome your comments again!

Freya Writes... 
I like the idea of the sea itself as the antagonist in this story — like it has a will of its own.
Why thank you, lovely lady! Yes, I wanted to be a bit different, within the realms of ‘flood’…
Indeed, let them enjoy it while it lasts. That last line has a deeper, more universal meaning I think.
Thank you, Elliot. Yes, the last line was intended to hint at something more…
A pause for thought, and the setting so much the story, yes.
Thank you!
Dear Freya,
You’ve described us perfectly. This tight little tale speaks volumes. Well done.
Aloha,
Doug
Thank you so much, Doug.
Well done Freya, dodgems what a fun thing to play. Enjoyed your piece, the thought of the encroaching tide is frightening.
Thank you! Yes, I love the sea and live on the coast, but….
Dear Freya,
A disturbing tale. Well done.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Thank you 🙂
You tell this so casually, yet there’s an ominous feel to it like the clouds hanging over the flood.

Thank you, Janet. That was the intention – I’m pleased that it worked.
Utterly intriguing!
AnElephant loves it.
Is there hope if you believe?
Perhaps there is… Hope is such a personal matter, I think.
Yes, thank you.
Sobering post, about the state of the planet. It touches me, as the topic is too often pushed aside and ignored. I like that you took this opportunity to put it center. Well done.
Thank you so much. It might have been the obvious road to go down with this photo, but sometimes, that’s what is needed.
Actually, it may not be obvious to so many others… I thought your perspective was unique in a field of talking carts. All were fun, but this was thought provoking. Nice work.
oh this is heartbreaking.. could be a metaphor for life today.. let the children play while it lasts.. very sad
Yes, indeed it could. I purposely kept this ambiguous, so that it was open to interpretation.
You’ve got humanity down, that’s a fact. We still dump things on ‘the supernatural’ (or anything other than ourselves). Ann
Thank you, Ann. Yes, we do….
