I ride upon a monsters back like a
​giant eel that weaves a course to stir rippled water and
​mountains rise on either side in majestic strokes as if to
​greet a dusky dawn chorous but the monster plunges down,
​down, down into the murk and swims into a cave
where white bones eddy among in crevices.

Well Jennifer, no worries about getting it right, you have gotten it right and then some.

Brilliant, Jennifer.  I love the descriptions, especially all the adjectives in the first part then the last two and half lines, where the dark truth takes over!  I like the repetition of 'down', which adds to the grimness.

Hello Jennifer,

I love stuff about sea monsters. This eel like one reminds me of my sea dragon "Mezarhoddyn" (don't Google it it's of my own making!) I've written 20+ short stories about his exploits.

A good long sentence with class.

Line 1 should br "monster's".

Evocative and enigmatic, Jennifer, love the imagery of mountains and bones.

Try to tame the monster and you might end up it's prey. A very engaging story. I could really feel the setting and the mythical/mysterious atmosphere of Loch Ness.
