The Waterfalls

PHOTO PROMPT © David Stewart 

I heard the waterfalls long before we made it.  This is the moment I had been waiting for, for six years and I couldn’t quite believe I made it.  Even though I had been hiking and training for months, I was winded. My heart was beating fast, but I couldn’t tell if it was from exertion or excitement. I stared at the waterfalls, soaking in their beauty, but also the danger they put forth. I knew there were jagged rocks at the bottom of the waterfalls because of the death last year. I hoped Simon wouldn’t know what hit him.
