Mangata

Another late 100 word story, slowly catching up.  Sorry real life getting in the way of things.  

Celebrated my maternal grandparents' 65th wedding anniversary tonight, they're talking about having a big celebration for the 75th and I'm hoping that they'll both make it for that.  

This story came about when a friend shared me a few foreign words that don't have an exact English word translation.  I felt that mangata (swede) would make a fun story as it means: The road-like reflection of the moon on water.  Plus being in Florida I do get to see the ocean a lot, so this is my way of celebrating ocean life, I guess?  

I'll put up another story soon, just adding more words and editing.  

Enjoy.

12/09/2013 (Monday)- Mangata

               I walk a yellow road tonight with ocean waves lapping at my feet.  The top of their white crests waving good-night as they slowly dip back down to the wet blackness of the ocean as her misty salt kisses brush my lips and skin. 

               I walk a yellow road tonight with sirens singing faintly from a distance.  Their love-songs tinged red by passion mixing with the soft gentle midnight-blue sighs of ocean waves. 

               I walk a yellow shimmering road laid brick by brick by the incandescent moon, tremulous footfalls walking me to the end...

               Of dreams.

               Of sleep.

               Of life.
