Quicksand

Do you see those trees in the distance?

That’s where I’m going.  Or, it’s where I was going … until my bike got stuck in the quicksand.

Now I’m wondering whether I should turn back.  I’m enjoying a granola bar while I try to figure things out.  Just snapped this picture with my super smart phone.  See that totally boss bicycle?  It used to be mine.  Now, it belongs to the quicksand.

Luckily, I’m sitting on solid ground.  Strange how the Earth’s surface can be so radically different across the six feet between my butt’s spot in this field and those tire treads.

What are they growing here?  Is this farmland?  Is it a quicksand farm?

Maybe I’ll stay right here for a while.

This splash & dash from my imagination was inspired by a writing prompt over at THE FIGMENT, an online community for writers: http://thefigment.freeforums.net.
