PHOTO PROMPT – © ceayr
The old house boarded up. It’s coming down to make way for a new sea view hotel. We thought ourselves witty when we named it Château de Sable, sand castle. Near the beach, built on sand.
But you shouldn’t build on sand, because it shifts and sand castles always get washed away by the sea.
The new build will be delayed though. When they find the bodies. It was lazy to bury them there when we were so close to the outgoing tide, but then again sand is so easy to work with when you have so much to bury.

Burying things in the sand doesn’t seem to be a brilliant idea. But the narrator seems to be telling us the story with some confidence, so I assume he/she is at a safe distance now.

He expects to be caught, he should have floated them out on the tide, or weighted them down in the sea

“…so much to bury”? How many bodies, exactly? Very nice.

That took an unexpected turn. I dread to think how many they’ll uncover.

Dear Michael,
A rather grisly turn of the tide. Nicely done.
Shalom,
