"The Sneaker Wave" - Fifty Word Story
My entry for the Fifty Words Stories, Theme: Wave
This is a true story based on something that happened to me this last weekend while visiting the Oregon Coast.
The path wound down to the beach. At the bottom – driftwood and sand. But, not just ordinary sand. Each pebble of sand was a beautifully polished stone. I was scanning them, looking down, not paying attention, when… Whoosh! The wave splashed around me! I was wet up to my knees.
Thank you for hosting this fun writing challenge, @miniature-tiger!
Can you find gems here?
I know you can find jade and quartz there. Not sure about anything else, or what the other stones are. But there are definitely a lot of green & red stones. Maybe agates? I'll be doing a longer post about this beach soon. :)
Ok, I'll keep watching you.
I love looking for things on beaches. When I was a kid you could search for fossilised sharks' teeth. I never found any. But the ocean always has the potential to surprise you!
Thanks for joining in with #fiftywords @pyrowngs!
I've never found a shark tooth, but I remember finding shark egg sacks back when I was a kid.
