Incident

Not natural, this repose. The others act at playing in the sea. Dubbed-in laughter. Who gave the ending away? Cue sunset. Slow, moribund. I think of darkness to come, of blood and sharp cutting things. And that large thrashing horror just now breaking the surface.

Thank you so, so much! I really appreciate that! Since I'm new, I'm not sure about protocol. Do I refer to you by your user name? At any rate, thank you again for your kind words!
