Beach Accidents

6-word photo story challenge

Polio Survivor Victimized by Rogue Chair

This is a true picture from a few nights ago. My hilarious polio-surviving father-in-law has a history of falling down pretty much everywhere he goes. He’s a big, lumbering guy and falls fantastically. In this case, he was sitting innocently on the deck enjoying a glass of wine on a breezy beach evening, when this chair decided to rudely interrupt his peace with a violent crash to the decking below.

He was uninjured, luckily. His pride took yet another small knock, but he has survived to tell another harrowing tale.

I feel like a slacker for not getting to this sooner, as I have been tagged by a few of this for this innocent little writing challenge. I probably have a half-dozen more entries for this, but I’ve been on vacation on the beach and have not been rushing to get back to the computer.

I’ll probably write a piece and include about six 6-word challenges. Is that allowed? Wait, I don’t care.

Thanks to Mary Chang Story Writer for starting this challenge, and to Kasey Sparks, Amanda Wilson, Will Hull, Squeeze the Avocado, yesnodunno, Carlos Garbiras for tagging me, and a few others who’ve probably already been tagged. Posy Churchgate, Kim Vazquez, Sadie Seroxcat.
