This week's picture prompt is from photographer Christy Lee Rogers, an artist from Hawaii. This is actually a photograph taken under water at night. Quite incredible, and there's lots more to see on her site.
Short and sweet, and maybe a little bit ambiguous.

There is also a Facebook group for Mid-Week Flash, if you fancy getting the prompt there.
I remember Johnny thought it would be a
good idea to be in there, even though it wasn’t his house. And when he jumped
in and discovered the underwater music, the whole party had to move into the
water.
Dancing underwater was fun, but I think it
was Felicity’s dress I got my leg’s tangled in and she started to struggle, and
even though Dan had his life guard certificate he couldn’t work it free, and
then she began to panic pushing him under. By the time Harriet swam up, there
were three more caught up in it, and the others just thought we were dancing
and having fun.
The more people tried to get uncoiled, the
more they seemed to get knotted up. It was like a churning washing machine of
clothes and people, but in slow motion. And it felt slow; time crawls when you
can’t breathe.
I don’t know who went first, it was hard to
tell with all the material getting in the way of faces, but eventually they
were gone, and I was there, floundering in clothing that had been discarded.
I felt like I flailed for a lifetime. And
as I turned onto my back, my arms and legs still bound up, I looked up at all
the faces round the pool looking down at me. Their stricken looks as my last
reserves let go, and bubbles of my last breath left me, are scored onto my mind
for an eternity.
