The mid-day sun bore down over the white sand beaches as the two children played a the water's edge. The foamy surf of the ocean tickled their chubby, tan toes,, reaching up onto the land at high tide. A hot breeze wafted through, tickling the palms but offering no real relief from the heat. A little girl no older than 4 was kicking at the waves and squealing with delight while her bother was poking his toe into a flubbery jelly fish that had washed up with the tide. It wiggled and jiggled with each poke of his sandy foot while he giggled.
"Kati! How many times do I have to tell you? Don't go near them! They can still sting you on the sand!"
A mother's voice called to the boy and it was a mother's voice that was promptly ignored as the boys grinned widened.
As another wave came in, the two children watched as another jelly fish came tumbling in on the surf. Except this was much bigger. Much, much bigger! It was not a jelly fish but something else. The creature rolled and flopped on to the sand, making the children scream. The mother heard yelling and came stomping over from the bushes where she was picking berries. "I told you not to touch the jelly-"
Her eyes laid on the creature crawling toward her babies and she left out a blood curdling scream before snatching them up, away from the monster.
