OCEAN VIEW by Granny Annie
Belinda's behavior was childlike as she stood at the ocean edge. She clapped her hands in glee and wanted to charge into the water but she knew better. She could see the sharks circling. They would love to savor a bite of Belinda. This was an important detail she needed to remember. "Jack!" she murmured to her husband as he approached her, "isn't this just gorgeous?" "Yes, it is" Jack replied, as he stretched his arms out to her.
--Later that night --
It was a beautiful evening for the group gathered in their favorite beach bar. They enjoyed the lime margaritas and the lick of salt on their wrists. There was so much laughter they almost didn't hear the shocking news coming over the last evening broadcast. The bar's sound system wasn't very good plus the loud crash of waves also blurred the story. It was something about a tourist named Belinda killed in a shark attack. Her distraught husband had found her. He insisted he had warned her not to go in the water but she never paid attention to him.
Oh my goodness. She should have paid attention. Well done.

ReplyDeleteBrilliant twist to the tale.
Those were really good stories!
ReplyDeleteDid not see that coming. Think Jack should be a person of interest.
ReplyDeleteIt's always the husand or the butler!
ReplyDeleteSome people do such evil, and get away with it. It's sad.
ReplyDeleteExcellent story and use of the prompts.
aha! crime is afoot at the ocean. I would definitely be interviewing Jack down at the station. Nicely done.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great story! I am sure Jack was not the loving husband he appeared to be.
