Charlotte - 100wc week 5

Prompt: Black   Flamingo   Extraordinary   Poked   Underneath

The Black Swan

The extraordinary, ballerina strengthened her biceps then lifted her body and flew past the orchestra behind her, like a black swan. After the show the crowds melted away. The flee from the night echoed through the valleys. Xanthe poked my elbow. The funny bone sensation started to creep into my skin.

Underneath my tongue was a rush of joy when my mouth met sherbet. Xanthe bought some from the store on the corner of Masons Street. We got home. My flamingo bedspread invited me to let go of my thoughts and lye in the monster while the night grew old.
