  22. She grasped the edge of the cliff hanging just by her fingernails looking down at the breakers below her. Trying to get her leg up or hang onto anything close to the top of the cliff. She knew it was like grasping at straws but what was the alternative. Try or fall onto the rocks below. With strength and determination that she didn’t know she had, she flung herself up and on top of the grass, swallowing great breaths wondering where her adversaries were now.
    Keep moving, she had to keep moving, it was the only way she was to find the way out. Down the path, through the cactus, run girlie run.

  24. The grass was growing at a rapid pace. It was beginning to reach past my knees, then my waist. Soon the grass was taller that me and I was engulfed in a sea of green blades that swished and swayed. I didn’t know how I was going to get home but I closed my eyes and enjoyed the moment in the mysterious forest of grass.

  25. Grasped. Its a word often use to finally get something. Whether you grasped the meaning, or the item your getting something. Grasped. Odd word, many writers use it but when in real life? Grasped. Like grabbed, but more emotive. Grasped.

  26. He grasped at the fruit as it dangled from the tree; foreign and exotic, the color of an indigo sunset, with its inexorable pull and tantalizing, dripping juice. He was distantly aware that this was possibly the worst decision he was ever going to make in his short and insignificant life, and he was strangely okay with that.

  27. 58 minutes later, sat cross-legged and crying, she whispering the phrase “– —– – —- — —” for the final time, rose to her feet and bowed a single balletic movement. Smiling finally she skipped out of the room through the corridor and into the light, panda eyes glistening.

  28. As she grasped the neck of his shirt, she pulled him in close. She whispered softly into his ear. What she whispered wasn’t what he had expected, but as he thought more about these words he was able to console himself with their meaning.

  29. These days I feel like everything is slipping through my fingers. Like things that I could hold before, things that I could grasp, safe in my fist, are turning intangible and unreachable.

  31. I grasped at the handle, as my body drifted over the streets, hundreds of stories below. The wind blew against me as strong as furious as the ocean’s waves. I looked up into the blue hued sky, thinking of what could be my last moments on Earth.

  32. The concept eluded her. It ran away from her outstretched fingers, laughing the cruel cackle of childhood enemies. She could not grasp the little pink plus on the white stick in front of her, and that, among other things, made her sick to her stomach.

    Mrs. Bear
  33. She grasped at the blades of grass and she slid down the hill towards the cliff. Screaming as she went, mostly out of fear but also to remind herself that she was alive, for the moment at least. Soon she would need to do more than flail at the ground if that was to continue.

  34. The needles were in my hands. Push, pull, wrap, push pull wrap. Over and over again. The clicking of the metal against each other, the feel of the yarn in my hands… it was relaxing.

    (And then I couldn’t think of anything more to say.)

  36. I have grasped what it means to do many things in my life, usually just in time to not need the information. I have not yet grasped exactly why I am on the planet. That is probably why I am still here.

  37. The ledge crumbled under her hands. Feeling unstable, she tried to fumble for some other, more secure perch. However, it was to no avail. She kept on slipping, ad no matter what she tried, she just couldn’t pull herself up.

  38. He grasped the rope with all his might, pulling with what little strength he had left. The sinews scratched into his palm, aggravating his wounds as he pulled. But he had no strength left. His grip loosened, he slid, and let go to fall into the abyss below him.

  39. Like a baby holding on to your finger, letting go is not an option. I will never give up on this grip. I can only squeeze harder.

    Joe
  40. I have been holding on for to long now. It’s time I let go and grasp harder on to the next, object.
