1290 / 16-Jun-2021

Level 1

Taliyah breathed deep and let the calm pass through her. She thought about how the familiar speckled the unfamiliar in this little corner of the world. She knew the salt, but not the water. She knew the rhythm of the dunes, but not these waves. But she was a quick learner...

Level 2

She stood tall as her board sped her along the wave's side. The wind rushed through her hair, stinging her face, while her heart raced from the roar of the water behind. If only the others could see her now!
