Pooched: Life's a Beach

By KyleeliseTHT

Crossing the bridge onto Chaise’s Key has its perils, so it seems. The luxurious coastal enclave on the west coast of Florida is home to the famous horror writer Thomas Twolane, who turns out to be the perfect instigator of a woman’s wild tales. She’s “Pooched,” and Twolane knows it. But Mila and Mark Kratos, her closest friends, and the woman’s husband, Wyatt, have grown tired of her eccentricities. And, unlike Twolane, they decide they’re done playing along. But that’s the end of the story. What happens in between is the not-so-black-or-white circumstances that have driven the woman to her angst. Can we believe her?—it appears that only Twolane knows. And he’s not saying, exactly.

Prologue

They gawk every time we come out here. But tonight they followed us, Wyatt and me. I knew they would. Saw them lingering at the curb, then peel off behind us when we crossed the swing bridge onto Chaise’s Key.

Usually, they don’t notice us until after we’ve traversed the bridge and commenced our northward drive along the beach. They’re so darn narrow—the bridge and the thoroughfare— passing cars battle to clear them. A timid driver might be bullied into a
