Monsters

This someone I could see. He was part of a hexad, a sextet, gathered a short distance up the beach. They’d come out of nowhere. Appeared there like, poof!


“Hey.” Maybe not. Probably not. I’d been focusing in the other direction. That was it. “I’m kind of lost.” I was happy to see them and hollered back. I even waved.


Straightened out into a line, they looked like models for a height chart. The tallest and thinnest man, the one who spoke out twice, now, could have played for the NBA. The shortest one on the other end could have been an extra from Munchkin Land. Two were men. Four were women, the second person in the line a rather tall woman who almost matched the height of the man beside whom she stood. All of them were properly dressed for a Hawaiian vacation, though not one looked comfortable for some odd reason.
