Two pairs of steps on the beach


- You were right, as always. Perfect weather to be outside.

- I told you.

- Not only for you, but for me also. I need some fresh air.

- And some sun.

- I know, that I need sun. I am pale as a tourist on the first day of vacation.

- Look around.

- I couldn’t be as excited as you are.

- All is in your mindset.

- Sometimes I want to be as happy as you to spam letters.

- Postman it’s another level of interaction.

- I am always bad at social communication.

- Just say hi.

- What if the delivery guy is not ready to talk?

- How do you know if you never tried?

- Could I remind you that being just friendly could be too much for people?

- I try to make the day better, they would do all to make it worse.

- Sorry, I didn’t plan to start complaining. The sun is shining, ocean is noisy. It’s perfect.

- You say it to calm me down.

- I say it to myself.

- Not all the time I invent our conversations. I try to be authentic. At least with you. Catch a ball!

The waves licked from the wet beach tracks of two pairs of steps of a dog, holding a ball in his mouth. And steps of the dog’s human continued their quiet walk near the noisy ocean.

A 'different' finely written tale.. smart talk, equa-distant well put dialogue.. amusing, interesting, adventuring! The avatar tells its own story, adds to the delightful conversation. Top of that, the final lines amuse, close with a smile! Line thirteen, change gay to guy perhaps? Many thanks for sharing,
Kate AKS!
