  • The Ocean Stole Its Colour From The Sky

    They became friends when their cars collided at about 5 mph while they were both trying to park their car in the same lot that turned out to be too small for either of their cars.
    “Why don’t we ever do something else?” She asked right after she crashed her virtual car into a wall.
    They have been spending the whole afternoon playing race games and they were at a tie.
    He drives right by her and makes his way to the finish line, “We are doing something and you wanted a rematch.”
    “I mean outside!” She yelled as she was gaining up on him.
    “Like a date?” He joked.
    She used the nitro she had been saving the entire race, “No, you said we were just friends. So just go some place. Do something together.”
    They were now going head to head towards the finish line.
    “Like what?” He asked.
    She didn’t take her eyes of the flatscreen TV on the wall, “Can’t you come up with something.”
    He pauses the game right before the finish line which made her instantly furious and while she set her teeth into the controller he said, “The beach.”
    She released the controller from her tight grip and turned to him, “No! It’s always so crowded there!”
    “Not that part of the beach. I know this guy that has a house at the beach, and a private piece behind it. He told me that if I ever wanted to, I could bring girls there, the only thing he wants in return is to let him hide in the closet and peek through the blinds and watch.”, He explained.
    Her jaw dropped to it’s lowest position, “Thats crazy, no way!”
    “Wait, we wont have to go into the house, but just stay on his part of the beach, he can hide in the closet all he wants, while we are out in the sun. Getting a tan.”, He explained and walked over to the TV and turned it off.
    She was okay with their afternoon ending in a tie so she did not complain and it sounded like a good plan so she accepted.
    And exactly one day later they were standing at the beach house with sand between the bottom of their feet and the slippers they were wearing.
    “Nice!” She exclaimed.
    He used the key he got and unlocked the front door and walked in, “It sure is, let’s get to that backyard. No that cant be right, backbeach?”
    She followed him to the kitchen that had a door that opened to the beach behind the house.
    They watched the door slide open and in stepped a skinny guy wearing nothing but a sombrero and a thong, “Right on time, let me just get dressed and you guys will have the beach for yourselves.”, He said followed by a somewhat creepy wink.
    He dashed up the stairs and they kept staring at the waves crashing onto the beach in fear of catch a glimpse of his behind.
    They heard the bathroom door close, they both released a sigh of relief and stepped outside.
    “Wha, its gorgeous!” She screamed while running through the small heaps of sand.
    Shortly after they were lying on their beach towels soaking up sun light.
    A shadow overcasts them, “Listen crazy idea, but how about I hang out for a while with your guys?”
    He wasn’t sure what to tell his so called friend he referred to ‘the guy with the beach house’.
    “Uhm, well its your beach so..”, He said to the guy with the beach house.
    The skinny guy wiggled his way in between them, “Just enough room for the three of us.”
    “Did you guys know the ocean stole it’s color from the sky and it used to be the brightest pink you’d ever see?” He asked them.
    And at the exact same time both of them got up and said, “We should be going.”
    Then the ground began to shake and the three of them had no idea what was happening.
    “Is it an earthquake?” He yelled.
    The skinny guy ran inside yelling, “Tsunami!”
    “Look!” She yelled as she pointed towards the sea.
    All the water in the ocean was going to one side as if the world had fallen onto his side.
    The clouds and seagulls were falling to the side and everything else followed, the sand beneath their feet was slipping away and the skinny guy was holding onto the railing of his porch.
    They ran over to him and wanted to get inside but before they could the angle of the ground was too steep and right when they got up onto the porch they fell down but managed to grab a hold of the skinny’s guy pink thong, looking down they saw the entire world as a huge pile of junk on a scrapheap.
    When they were all about to lose their grips, the shaking stopped and everything dropped to the right angle again, everything looked messed up but at least they weren’t going to drop to their deaths anymore.
    “I told you too stop shaking that!” Tommy’s mother yelled to her little boy she once referred to as her little angel.
    She walked towards him and grabbed the snow globe variant coined ‘sand globe’ from his hands and placed it back with all the others on the small stall.
    “Their hand crafted!” The crafty crafter yelled to the mother that was walking away dragging her kid behind her like a shopping bag.
