Character Sketch

The Turtle
The unusual stone, warmed by the sun slowly stretches out scaled limbs and scoots itself like a reptilian penguin to the end of the log. Like a drunk on a barstool the turtle falls into the lake and swims like a damaged alien submarine to the bottom. One on the bottom he lays on the bottom in a near perfect disguise like a mine ready to destroy and submarine unfortunate enough to go by. In several minutes a small bass swims across a round segmented piece of basalt. A flash of movement and a cloud of blood. The fish is nowhere to be seen. The turtle slowly swims to the surface, and just as clumsily as before, he climbs back onto the log.

  1. I liked the begining but it got worse as it went on. you could have chose better words in the middle and you should only use one submarine reference. but in the long run you did a pretty solid job
