Last week's Great Write Way challenge, "Parade." I finally got a chance to write it.
Morning finds them looking smart, arrayed in their uneven ranks, white shirtfronts gleaming, black coats smooth. They march off to the morning's task, bright-eyed and focused on business. Each one moving along, slipping a bit on the icy route but determined on reaching the goal. They reach the edge of the ice and dive purposefully into the surf. The ones that make it past the orcas' gauntlet will swim out to the fishing grounds and hunt all day, before swimming home, sharing the catch and sleeping until morning and time for the next day's parade.
