The Face in the Sunset

By C. D. Moulton

Andy Smart was on the terrace of the Royal Conch Hotel at Golden Bay, Isla Fortuna, talking with a girl he met that afternoon, watching the sunset. For a few seconds, there was a face formed in the clouds. The girl showed shock and fear.
"What...? What's wrong?" Andy asked.
"That's Rick!" she cried.
"It's a cloud formation," Andy argued. "It just happens to look like someone you know."
The formation had moved. It was now just a slightly colorful sunset.
"Your name might be Smart, but you're not very!" she replied, sarcastically.

Evening in Paradise

Andrew Sidney Smart (or Ass, as his friends called him. Who would miss a chance like that?) came from the beach to the hotel terrace for a quick Vodka Collins. It was five o’clock.

He loved the Caribbean islands.

There was a more than average pretty girl at the little table at the end of the bar, using a laptop. She was about his age (27). He was there solo, she seemed to be ....

He went by, and said, Hi! Great day here, huh?

Most are. It has been nice.

"My first time here. People seem really friendly. Great atmosphere!
