🎥 Prompt: Beach Adventure

Beaches are some of the most fun places to be! We want you to capture this joyful energy by telling us a story centered on a beach. It could be a discovery someone's made, a love story, a playful game gone wrong. Just because there is joy doesn't mean there can't be strife. How else would we capture said joy? The prompt is open-ended for a reason: We want to read as many stories as possible! So give us your best! 💪

May the odds - and your creative energy - be ever in your favor!
