26 Hours | 300 Words | 1 Globetrotting Prompt
Today's prompt word is - archipelago
After so many days of blissfully floating in relative peace
and quiet Daisy heard the familiar humming of an engine above her head. Lazily she
lifted an arm to shield her slowly opening eyes from the glaring sun. They
confirmed what she already knew – her idyllic honeymoon was coming to an end.
With a slight sadness in her heart she watched as the plane
glided in an effortless trajectory on its way to the last island in the
archipelago. By the time their yacht reached the shore the plane would be ready
and waiting to trace the line of islands all the way back to the mainland.
Closing her eyes again she tuned back into the soothing sound
of the ocean, once more mulling over how to begin this month’s article. This
kind of once in a lifetime two week cruise along the islands on a private yacht
would have ordinarily been well out of her budget.
Writing a couple of thousand words for the privilege was a
small price to pay for such luxury.
Stretching her arms out wide, an imitation of the plane
above, Daisy reached playfully for her faithful companion with a light touch.
Her fingers slowly curled around the purple leather bound
Kindle full of the complete works of Jane Austen. There was just time to lose
herself at Pemberley before the magic had to end.
Next time, she vowed, she really must find her own Mr Darcy
to share one of these experiences with!
