Hidden beneath her wide brimmed hat, book in hand, though not a page turned for the past twenty minutes, she sat in wait.

Her advanced years earned her an immediate position of trust with the unsuspecting mothers. None would realize until it was much too late, that she had laid in wait for the perfect moment to lure their children to their brutal death.

Bill — Nice to see you back. Funny one. I love imagining the submarine sitting out there under that beautiful tranquil sea. Hollywood sign under the sand there is funny too.

Friar — Ewwwaaaah! …but that’s a good one. Glad you are liking these. You are good at it.

Jan — I am glad a woman came on scene here to contrast the two masculine takes on the image. Thanks. Lovely story idea.

All your story ideas went to unexpected places — really good!

In his grief, he journey’s back to the island that gave him this gift, to find out why.
