One Sunny and Clear Day...
It's summertime here in the Northern hemisphere and thoughts of sandy beaches are flitting around my head. Alas, I am quite landlocked and have never seen the sea. This challenge is about taking a sunny beach scene, _ Wait.. I just realized I did this beach challenge years ago. Must be because I still haven't been to one._ Correction: a sunny scene *anywhere*: the calm before the storm, a sunny meadow, a sunny laundry-in-the-wind type commercial, a beach, a mountain, or a city street.. _there, I avoided a re-hash of the beach_ and describe for me the characters' motives, and hint whether this sunny time will last, is a beautiful thing, or a terrible irony. Begin with 'One sunny and clear day'. Why? Because it is the opposite of 'a dark and stormy night' and because this challenge was too vague without _some_ parameters. Oh, *and* you have to use at least one line of italics to bring your reader INSIDE the character's head, or as an ASIDE to your story, as in a narration.
