Coat: A Six Sentence Story


The two young men pulled themselves onto the sandy beach, panting, each silently rejoicing their good fortune of surviving the battering ocean waves and the relentless sun. 

Michael raised his head first, drew a ragged breath, and turned towards Andy, whispering, "You okay, man?"

Andy's eyelids fluttered, and his mouth worked before he croaked out, "I think so, but my tongue feels like it's wearing a leather jacket." 

Michael rolled onto his back, squinting at the sky, and answered, "Mine feels more like it's wearing a fur coat."

At the sound of running feet, both young men rolled to a sitting position.

"DUUUUUUUUUDES, beer run in ten minutes," was shouted to them, and they staggered to their feet and prepared themselves for the second day of Spring Break.

    1. Thanks, sis! I never went on a spring break trip, either. I did fun things like get my wisdom teeth out instead.
