Hot above and cool below.
The sun beats in me like a drum.
The sounds of laughter, the boat rocking in
the waves and the opening of a bag of chips.

I leap and the cool water rushes over head I
pop up and I am bouncing like a buoy in the
ocean breeze. I swim to the tubes and hop on
with Isaac. The boat pulls forward and
The

Battle


Begins.

Isaac leaps and lands in enemy territory only to
be thrown into a oblivion of water. Then Kaden
leaps and falls flat in the water. The war wages on as
Logan and I try to knock each other off.
I jump and then I land on his tube feel the
sprinkle of water on my face then I am thrown
off the tube and the cold water
rushes over my head I have lost.
