"It's just a little windy, is all. I promise."

"Yeah, yeah..." As he headed out, he could feel the current whipping at him. Heading into open waters, the sunlight fluttered through brief breaks in the clouds. "Not as bad as she said it was."

Oh no, poor little critter.
Talk about flash fiction, what a quick set up and twist ending! Took a couple reads but I realized this was narrated by something that got squished by a human... great twist in perspective! Was unexpected and fun to figure out!
Oh my GOSH. This is incredibly heart-wrenching. Way to move mountains with so few words!! 👏🙂
