She gasped at she read it, her husband reading over her shoulder.

_ Dear Friend,_

_This is urgent. We need help. I hope this winds up in the right hands. Otherwise disaster will continue to rage. Currently I hold the sea and he takes the land. We are running low on food. Please send some. My crew is tired and we need your help to finish this war. With victory for us._

_Sincerely,_

The sun was just starting to peek over the horizon, the sky awash with pinks and oranges and purples and yellows. Josh and I slowed our pace from our morning run along the shore to take it all in. A seagull flew overhead in a noisy arc, then darted towards the foamy waves.

That’s when I saw it, the glint of something flashing on the water. I stopped altogether, shielding my eyes from the rising ...

The sand is warm and the water is cool. They balance out each other so when they hit our feet, it’s comforting. The sun is peering down us, i’m pretty sure we will be as red as a lobster.

My boyfriends arm is around my shoulder as we walk along the shore. I’m wearing a dress that flows in the wind and he’s wearing light blue swim trunks. I look down and with each step I take the sand gets on my ...

“What is it?”

“There’s a note inside. I can’t open it.”

“Here - I’ll hold, you pull. One, two -“

“Got it! Okay.”

“What does it say?”

“…”

“Come on, what? Is it an SOS?”

“…it says ‘we have been trying to contact you about your car’s extended warranty.’”...

“To anyone who by some crazy chance happens to find this note.

If my premonition is correct two people should be reading this along the beach right now.

To whomever is reading this, this is an EMERGENCY ! We desperately need your help. The year is 2088 and our world as we know it is on the brink of extinction. This is our attempt at trying to save not only us but your future generatio...

“Babe, are you excited”? “Of course Jamie, why wouldn’t I”?

It was the summer of 2003 when he and my partner decided to walk on the luxurious Llandudno Beach which has beautifully golden sands and blissful winds which is like breaths from heaven; it’s the perfect place, it really is.

Although Jamie and I were super excited to go to the beach, the trip we went on was short lived and made a lump ...

Leah and Jerry stroll through the softly sifting sand, on the lookout for anything out of place. The sacks they carry are nearly full of brightly colored bits of broken toys, sandy plastic bags, and a handful of red SOLO cups. Three more bags lay stacked against each other, full of beer cans to recycle. There were always more of those after a holiday weekend.

“People are trash,” Leah says darkly,...

The Pembrokeshire coast had an aurora of ancient magic about it. Grant and Sandra had been making it their holiday destination since they met at The University of Sussex in the mid 80’s. Little had changed since they started coming, though the costal villages had become more up market and artisan, the coast itself had remained largely untouched by tourism or time. They loved the fact that even in ...

“If you are reading this, you have set me free.”

The message was written in an ancient rune, but Jordan understood it perfectly well. Coming from a lineage of witch hunters, his father and uncles all told stories to him and his brothers, warning them of these creatures- especially the sea witch. He never thought this day would come, and he never thought he would fall in its trap the first time he...

"Stop teasing me you meanie!" I let out with a soft chuckle, nudging the man on my right. A smile spreads across my lips as he gives me a mischievous grin, before returning a push back causing me to stumble slightly along the soft grains of sand under my bare feet.

"Your reactions are too entertaining for me to not tease you, lovely." Daniel retorts, amusement and humour dancing in his eyes as I ...
