"Nightmare on the Beach"
Written by: Stacey L. Bolin
It resembled a scene from a horror movie.
Police cars and yellow "Do not Cross" tape had sectioned off the scene while media helicopters
hovered overhead trying to get a picture of the incident. Detectives worked frantically as they tried
their best to collect any evidence before it disappeared into the ground.
"How could something like this
happen, and on the hottest day of the year?" Questioned one of the rookie officers, shocked by what he was seeing. "I knew being in this line of work that I am in, I'd see some grotesque things - but this?"
kids across the county had been
anticipating the glorious sound in the air that indicated that the most
important person in their community would soon be near. But the events of today would be a different story. As the hours ticked
away, children one by one, with their head down in disappointment, made their
way back into the comforts of their air conditioned homes, while children who
had been swimming at a local beach had come face to face with sheer fear.
Parents stood behind the police tape, holding
their children close, trying to ease the pain of what they had seen and heard.
A kind police officer walked over to the looming crowd, and as he wiped a tear
from his eye he asked, "Can anyone tell me what happened here
today?"
To which a parent replied, "Can't you
see it for yourself? PLEASE DO SOMETHING!"
"Ma'am, we are working as fast as we can to get this mess cleaned up."
Later that day, on the front page of every newspaper, big red letters were accompanied by a very horrific picture of what had happened on that hot summer day at the beach.

Hope you liked my tall tale. This picture came from a post by a friend on Facebook. I do not know its origin, but I did not take this photograph and I do not know who the original artist is, but it did inspire me to write the story.
Have a COOL MONDAY everyone - Blog ya later.
