The Squid

They sit at the edge of the lake, her toes barely touching the water. He places his arm around her waist and pulls her closer, whispering in her ear.

Suddenly, the giant squid surfaces, far across the lake. She shrieks and jumps up. He remains calm, merely readjusting his now empty arms. She slowly walks back towards him, cautious. He smiles, no teeth, and splashes in her direction. A false-angry look passes over her features and they laugh again.

She falls back into his arms, the daylight slowly drains away as they lay, simply enjoying the presence of the other.
