[toodamnmanymuses]

Prompt Image

K’tanya watched as her daughter moved through the water with what seemed to be almost effortless ease. Destiny had always taken to the water, often spending hours in the bathtub even as a toddler. Now she had joined the swim team at school and rarely seemed to leave the pool.

Given her own fiery nature, K’tanya didn’t really understand Destiny’s love of the water. She wondered if perhaps it was a trait the child had inherited from her father.

Perhaps one day she would ask him, but for now she was simply content to watch their daughter in her element.
