593 Words3 Pages

Eek! A shrill sounded through the air. Everyone turned to look at what the commotion was right as the camera snapped the photo.

Little did we know this funny moment was in our future.

I continued to go out towards the lighthouse even as my grandfather had stopped taking us as we grew
