Author's Notes: This idea came to me while listening to Ideas in the Afternoon on the CBC radio at work. They were discussing time in it's variants and it's flow or our flow within and around it. A gentleman came on saying that the Blackfoot belive that time is much like a river and we stand on it's shores. We can walk the shoreline and visit events in the past or to a degree, the future.


I stand on the banks of the river Time, watching.

I look in the direction of it's flow and I see only grey for the future; rocks, water and time, all surrounded by grey mist. I look away and see with almost startling clarity the moment when things went wrong, where they went wrong.

I walk the banks, going backward to stop myself. To warn against the Lion - the savior, and my own destruction.

I never reach that point on shore; I realize now that I can only watch. Never will my feet touch the waters of the past again.

Balamb G comes in with 10 and shows....no mercy. I mean really. None.

This week's word prompt: #88 - Moment

Moments. Brilliant, crystalline and fleeting. Forever etched into memories or missed like the morning bus. They define a train of thought, a passion that creates us or something that can tear your whole world asunder. Everything can balance on that moment, a breath, an emotion, a life.

Whatever moment ensnares or runs from you, write it up in 100 words.
