 ** __Cool Rush __ ** The cool water blurs out all the daylight. She glides through the water like a smooth fin. The smell of chlorine comes from within, all she sees is blue bubbles during their floating flight. Her arms pushing the water back like an unfair fight, every stroke she splashes shoves her closer to the win. She kicks up all past thoughts before they begin, memories diminishing like stirred up bubbling water, all white. The last lap creeps up, she picks up the pace. Realization of her race takes hold, mind no longer clear, her body wants to give up the race. Her competitive nature over rules its attempt to fold, Her competitor ahead, the win becomes a chase. media type="file" key="WS320081.WMA" width="59" height="40"
