The waves crashed at my legs. The sand stuck to my toes‚ parts of seaweed were stuck on my leg. The sun was burning my face. My arms and legs tingled with the thought of a shark attacking me‚ like on T.V. I shiver involuntarily‚ and bit my chipped nails. The day had started out like any summer day going to the beach. My family was hustling to get our beach bags in order to get in before the rush our. I was ready 30 minutes ago‚ but waited for my family‚ nevertheless. It was a pleasant day‚ the

He sits on the steps in front of his brown house. One foot on the sidewalk the other leg bent at the knee. The orange glow of his cigarette held inches from his yellowing teeth. From inside the house he hears shouting. He stands‚ his light washed jeans are worn down at the knees. He stubs the cigarette in green ceramic ashtray on top of the wooden banister.

As I stand amongst the throngs of people in my carefully chosen spot I close my eyes and take a moment to breathe in the greatness that will be this rock concert. As the stench of burnt out cigarettes and stale spilt beer entangle in my nostrils they mix with the unmistakable reek of fresh vomit from the guy in front of me.

The plaid shirt was covering my tank top‚ the sleeves rolled up to the elbows and the collar soaked with sweat. The faded red had been stained a dark crimson from the sweat pouring off me.

I rubbed the sleeve of the plaid shirt across my brow‚ to wipe away the sweat. I grabbed the final bale off the last hay rack of the day and threw it over the side‚ towards where
