Altered Fates

Rising tides wash everything away

"Oh shit ... the tide has come in ... " said Josh softly.

I jumped up and looked down to the beach below. I saw that the place where we had left our things was now covered in water.

And I realized with horror that I had left the medallion down there!

We impatiently waited several hours for the tide to go out before I rushed down to the spot where we had been. I frantically searched and dug through the sand like a madman, desperately hoping to finding the medallion.

But it was not there.

And in my heart I knew it was gone.

But I still spent a good hour looking before finally giving up ....
