I say there are more fish in the sea. Toss this one back he’s a prude-fish and too small a chum for bait. The shark that was in the surf attracted to blood is another event. Marion saved the day. Had me in stitches. A treble hook approach for good humor and great nifty 10 # lines.
Dammit, Oresti, you have me laughing.. I know I should trust you but discussing Flannery O’Conner the other night I was worried there would be some fearful life lesson.. And there was! Great short story, love it.
Having grown up with fearful life lessons, I won't be recreating them in my writing. All these little joyful things are an antidote for me and a small victory each time that love can prevail. Making a person laugh, well, that is the grail. Thanks Patris.
Great story with a good moral. Avoid beaches with surf casters if you plan to swim.
Next week that same gal gets a speargun

Marion probably had him in stitches too. Thanks Richard
Bravo!
I love this. It gave me such a happy laugh.
I hope it was a cackle like my mom used to do.
😁
Love it-I saw it coming, but the punchline made me laugh.😂
Isn’t it fun to see something coming, makes it connect for me.
I love the last line of the story.
I imagined they fell in love and lived happily ever after!
That’s a good way to see it.
Thank you for this. Just what I needed this morning. 😂
I had small goals here, just 🤪&😆
Cute!
Thanks Joan.
