(Author’s note: Fall is starting to come in early to the Pacific Northwest. It is also my second favorite season. But, as a nod to the soon to be departing summer, here’s today’s Fictioneers!)

Electric Blue

by Miles H. Rost

At one moment, a nice and fluffy cloud in the sky.

Five minutes later, a roaring rainstorm with blue lightning cleared the beach. (1)

Patrick wanted to enjoy the beach one last time before returning to university, and being stuck in a small shelter in a rainstorm wasn’t fun.

Until he looked to his right.

Huddled up next to him, gripping his arm for dear life, was a striking beauty in an electric blue bikini. (2)

She nodded.
“I’m here. Hold on as long as you like.”

After 10 minutes it was over.

After 15 minutes, he had a date.
