  2. “Swell!” he said. I’d love to go for an ice cream sundae. Let’s go. The soda shop was only a couple blocks away and all the kids met there after school. This time he would be there too.

  3. The woman in the swimsuit had a swell body. Or was it a swollen body. Her arms and legs were so small, but her stomach was huge. Oh. She was going to have a baby. She floated on top of the water, belly to the sky, like a lovely porpoise. She had already eaten the fish.

  4. The swell of the ocean reminds me of the time I felt for you. The crash of the feelings hitting the sand, like the feelings I first felt of you… then the foam, poetically pulling back… and the ocean, my Consistent love.

  5. Yesterday I bit the tip of my tongue as I spoke too quickly, and after the initial rush of blood I was left with a tongue that felt slightly broader and heavier and didn’t quite fit in my mouth.

  6. The swell of the ocean. Tinted by soft orange on the crests of the waves. It was something special, that was for sure. Something not even all the photos I took could capture. Something about the movement– maybe I should have taken a video? they rose and fell, rose and fell again and I was falling over, into it.

  9. “Swell!”

    “Who says that anymore?”

    “What’s wrong with swell? It’s a swell word. I like swell.”

    “What are you, from the ’50’s?”

    “The 50’s were swell!”

    “Stop saying that word!!!”

  10. Waves building, lapping, filling, finding me amongst the swell. From a city failing, crashing, burning, the water frees me from this hell…

    Kevin
  11. “Well isn’t this just swell?” he thought as he watched her walk away from him. Again. Funny, he’d started taking count of how many times she’d done this. He’d done this. Watching her walk away. Then again, it was probably his fault. She liked to tell him that. “It’s your fault, you know.”

    Ciaren Davies
  12. Joseph is correct. Most people are NOT swell. At all. Mostly because they let their brains swell.

  13. swell reminds me of the 1950’s. here is what i see: bobby and his dog scout just came in from buying a pop down at the soda fountain down the street. mom has just baked a pie which rests on the counter, and he says, mom, that smells swell. thats just swell to me.

  14. I think it’s a swell idea – what’re you gonna do with all the money? but a nice house n settle down with the kids – rent up a different suite ev’ry week or take the lady out on the town. Well, it’s a swell idea, really, but where’re you gonna get the downpayment . . .?

  15. Swelling like a balloon, a massive red boil and over the beach crashing, wave’s swell. Englishman passes by, and says “gov’nor what a swell day,” and it makes me want to go out for some orange scones and english muffins and grab a latte at Starbucks minus all that sugar and cream. Might’nt you come with me to enjoy it? And our chests would swell with pride in our friendship but keep prudence!

    Jen
  16. And he swelled up with pride.

  17. I don’t even know what the word means, as I am not a native speaker. So I will have to guess, but the only association I can make is with “swollen” which makes me think of broken bones. Accidents and stuff.

  18. There’s nothing really swell about this day. The damn sky is gray like it’s been for a while now. I’m tired. Mostly, I’m tired of people. People are usually not swell.

  22. Well, this situation is just swell. And I say, or rather type that, with dripping sarcasm. This I say to myself as I survey the blood gushing from my eyebrow. Of course, I survey this at an odd angle, my eyebrow being above the organs one uses to see. In short, the blood is getting into my eye. This is a rather unpleasant sensation.

  37. Swell.

    She swelled, her knees buckled, her whole body became red. The sun beat down the beach, and beat down her smiled, her will, her face.

    Like the scene in Dahl.

  40. “This is swell!” He cried out in a jovial voice as he descended the steps. Grasping Eric’s hand, he pumped it up and down as he continued, “Eric, my good man! It is so good to see you again! How many years has it been?”

    Eric smiled with more restraint, though there was the same pleasure at their meeting in his eyes. “Too long, Mark, far too long. How are you? And your son?”
