Rugged Mann

They stand shoulder rubbing against shoulder on the night’s beach with their handsome heads cocked to the heavens. Here they study the evening’s sky as it fills with burst after burst of electrified light and rainbow colors. There are lime green and egg-shaped explosions in the night, purple umbrellas, and sizzling orange starbursts. Topaz flowers and indigo lightning bolts fill the night. The illumination show becomes breathtaking for both men as boom after colorful boom fills the night’s sky with exploding hues.


“This is magical!” Dillon exclaims, sounding like a young boy, semi-giddy.


“The best night yet here on the island.”


“Maybe the colony of men next door isn’t half bad, since they’re giving us free entertainment.”


“At least the manly yelps and screams have stopped.”


“It’s only temporary. Once this show is over, they’ll start back up and be rowdy Let’s just enjoy what we have now, taking in the explosions.”
