Ghost Stories - Moon Over Sea

One may not control their destiny....

The conch moved steadily along the shores of the beach that was littered with sea lichen, tangled moss, shattered shells, and mounds of cushiony sand.

"It's too dark out here," Mandy whispered to Arnie, almost as if she feared someone would overhear her.  "There is no moon over the sea tonight."

"Don't be such a big baby," Arnie laughed, kicking a mound of sand into the wind,  then both and he and Mandy went into a choking fit as the grains of sand shifted direction of the wind.  Arnie suddenly sobered.

"That's odd," he eased out, dusting off his cutoffs as he voiced his complaints.

"Arnie, I'm frightened.  Something is out here, I-I can feel it," Mandy assured him, her voice a bit higher than normal.

Arnie straightened, then argued, "Nah.  Nothing out here but us, Kitten." And then he kicked up another load of sand, and again they were blasted full force, as if someone had hosed them with the sand.

Mandy suddenly grabbed at Arnie's shirt sleeve and pointed in the short distance.  "Look!  Over there - a figure.  Perhaps a man?  Arnie, we're being followed."

When Arnie would have responded, the moon suddenly rolled out from beneath the hanger of clouds, lighting up the giant sand castle that loomed in the short distance.

Arnie laughed, then shoved at Mandy playfully.  "Aw, see?  Was nothing at all - just a giant sand castle."  Then, "Come on.  Let's get out of here and back to the beach house."

As they ran towards shelter, the moon sunk behind the clouds and the castle of sand reverted back into a spirit of the night, speaking again with its mighty voice of sand as the conch moved steadily along the shores of the beach that was littered with sea lichen, tangled moss, shattered shells, and mounds of cushiony sand....
