Oh, mon Dieu. How much did I drink last night? Friday Snippets #FridaySnippets

From the 19 5 star reviews box set - Crashing Into Love.........

Scene set -The plane crashes onto a Caribbean reef. After rescuing the flight attendant, Guy jumps into the water and swims for shore. Something bumps his shoulder. It's a can of beer.  Guy makes it to shore and falls asleep.



Squawk.Squawk. Squawk!Guy squeezed his eyelids tighter. "Oh, mon Dieu. How much did I drink last night?"Squawk.He peeled open one eyelid then snapped it shut. The sunlight was mind-piercingly bright. Blinking, he opened his eyes and focused toward the annoying sound. A seagull pecked at his sodden backpack. He flapped a hand. "Go away."The seagull stood sideways, cocked his head and eyed him with one eye."Yes, you. You go away. And take your friends." Guy pushed up to his hands and knees. His arms ached from the effort of last night's swim. He flipped over and settled on the sand. His gaze swept across the water. Far off to his right floated the remains of what was his flight from Toronto, Canada to Caracas, Venezuela. What the hell happened? He'd been asleep when people starting yelling. Jerked awake, he reached for his gun then remembered where he was. His gaze scoured the plane looking for the problem until he realized it wasn't someone on the plane. It was the plane. Survival instincts and training kicked in. He helped rescue the flight attendant and got himself safely off the plane. Now he was seated on some tropical beach, somewhere in the Caribbean. He smiled. Those palm trees along the shoreline looked a lot better than the massive, dirty snow banks back home. And the sea breeze rustling his hair was like a warm embrace, not like a hard slap of the brutal Ontario winds in January. Tropical island. A fantasy come true. Except to complete the picture; a beach chair, cold beer and beautiful woman were missing. Well, I got one of the three things. He grabbed his pack, dug through and pulled out his celebratory can of beer. He popped the tab, tilted back his head and poured the golden liquid down his throat. He grimaced at the first mouthful and spit it onto the sand. That washed the salty flavor out of his mouth and the rest of the beer was delicious and refreshing.Belch!Ah. C'est bon ça.He stuffed the can into the sand and rubbed his upper lip. "Being stranded on a tropical island wasn't covered in the R.C.M.P. training manual, so let's just go with the basics. Sit Rep. I'm alive. Good. Stranded on an island. Okay. No food." He dug through his backpack and pulled out a chocolate bar. "Food. Got it. Water. Nope. Just drank my only beer. Other people?" He glanced right and left. No one was visible. The smiling face of the cute flight attendant, Lori, popped into his mind. "Hope she made it out alive. Sit Rep analysis – merde."

***** Loved Each Story!!
By H34me on June 16, 2015

It's not too often that I read an anthology and like ALL the books, but with this Crash antho - I loved each one! Each story is well developed, characters believable, and all are well written. I'm so glad I saw the advertisements of the upcoming release of this book. I thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in each story and found it money well spent!
