One Thousand Word Challenge 195: A Passion for Boats

It was a fairly cloudless day. The wind blew westward, or at least it blew roughly westward, and the waves were, for the most part, low. The beach’s slope was gentle, though it seldom wasn’t and everything looked like it … Continue reading

Five-Hundred Word Challenge 1171: Need to Announce the Requirement to Pretend
