The River [LIF2018]

Floating down the river. Peaceful, water like glass. Wonder and excitement. Twists and turns lead to turbulent rapids. Calm again. A beautiful mountain view. Thrown down a waterfall. Passengers come and go. The hull splinters. Slowly water leaks in. One last starry nights beauty. Sink. Quite now. Black. That's life.

The End.

Thanks zos! It's hard to put any type of meaning in just 50 words.

I almost feel this piece is too good for fifty words.
Though the one -two punch has A nice feel to it.
