My Short Short Story for the Day



I came to rest on the soft silt, facing up, watching the ripples slowly subside. Soon the surface was smooth. Clear. Flawless. The gentle sway of the water soothes me. The sunlight sparkles above, reaching down but not quite reaching my depth. I thought I'd be scared but a calm has settled over me. It was wrong, what happened. It wasn't fair. But I can't change that now. I know my family won't forget me. They will search until they find me. I only wish I could hug my mother one last time but father will be there for her. And they will find out what happened. What he did. They will stop him. He will not get away with this. With my last sliver of strength I made sure of that.
