The Beach in 100 Words


Kayaking today with Kelli was fantastic!  On the drive down, I was slightly overbearing:  Do you have a towel?  Do you have sunscreen?  Do I need to remind you that the sun will fry your skin?  Despite my motherly worries, the day was flawless.  Returning home, I deposited my keys on the sideboard.

That’s when Kelli began snorting with laughter.

 “What?” I demanded.

“You’re face,” she hiccupped. 

I hoped for the best as I headed to the bathroom mirror, but my trepidation was fully realized. A raccoon stared back at me; a ghostly sunglass imprint on my otherwise scarlet face.
