Excerpt from Beyond The Veil of Human Eyes {Okefenokee Whimsy}
A brisk wind preceded the storm bringing with it huge thumb sized rain drops splattered on him and the boat. Lightning popped spewing fire as it slammed into cypress trees. The wind whirled his boat, which he tried to anchor by holding onto lily pad stems then jamming his push pole into the peat covered bottom. The force of the wind tore the pole from his hands, propelling him across the water, as if all the storms of summer were balled into that one super storm.
The boat suddenly took flight sailing between cypress trees on a stream of humid air. He expected to be smashed into one, but just as suddenly as the storm began he found his boat sitting on the shore of an Island. He was dazed by the rapidity with which his environment had changed, and even more so when he observed the huge size of the trees and brush. A narrow path of water surrounded the island and in it gigantic cypress trees and their hosts the knees covered any way of escape when he tried to push between them. Adam knew Sid would be expecting him home soon, so he pushed his boat along the land’s perimeter searching for a place to squeeze through, though he was fascinated by the strange land behind him.
