couple of months you’ll be over at the new café enjoying the fruits of their cheap labor.  Let me get you a refill on the lemonade.”
    “Thanks, Simon.”
    Lucille stared at his smart phone.  It reminded her that she had left a happy birthday message on her father’s Facebook page. There was a like from him on all the birthday wishes but her’s.  They weren’t currently on good speaking terms.  He was still mad that she had backed out on the wedding to her ex fiancé, Brad.  She never told her father how Brad would abuse her when he was drunk.  She didn’t have the courage to tell him the truth and instead told her father she backed out of the wedding because she wasn’t ready to settle down. 
    She looked back toward the construction site and began laughing out loud when she saw the guy in the rat suit trip over his own tail.

    The night air was refreshing as Austin and Mindy watched the full moon on the deserted beach.  The beach had closed hours earlier, and they were eager to have a romantic night under the stars alone.  They had placed a blanket on one of the sand dunes on the part of the beach that normally wasn’t used during the daytime, since it was too far from the lake.  Austin grabbed another beer from his cooler.
    “Don’t get too drunk.  The night is still young,” Mindy giggled.
    “It sounds to me like you’re the drunk one.”
    “If I’m drunk, I might as well drink another one.”
    “Slow down.  I don’t want you passing out.”
    “Don’t worry, Austin.  I’m going to stay awake all night,” she said as she put her finger on his nose.  “You have a funny looking nose.  How did you get such a funny nose?”
    “I think you’ve had enough,” he said and grabbed the can away from her.
    “Fine.  Less drinking, more making out.”
    “No sense arguing with that.”  Austin kissed her cheek and then her neck.  Austin felt heavy breathing from behind him.  He could smell a foul odor.  He turned around and a huge black cat was staring down at them.
    “I must be really drunk.  That’s one big kitty,” Mindy giggled.
    The cat opened its mouth exposing all of its large, sharp teeth.  It hissed loudly.  Austin dropped his beer.
    “Mindy, run!”
    Mindy ran as fast as she could in her drunken state.  The cat ran after her, trampling over Austin, crushing his skull into the sand.  It ran past her and spun around.  It pounced on her and bit her head off.  Her body fell to the ground.  It grabbed her body up with its mouth and swallowed the rest of her.  Once it was done with her, it casually walked over to Austin’s corpse and devoured him.

    Benton inspected the beach, cleaning up beer bottles and food wrappers before the beach officially opened that morning.  He was following a set of large animal tracks that led from the lake all the way back to the sand dunes.  They led him all the way to a large blanket lying on one of the dunes.  The tracks were huge.   The only big wildlife in the area were deer, but each paw print was the size of a tree trunk.  On the blanket was a cooler with several full cans of beer in it.  He followed the tracks.  Several feet away from the blanket he discovered a pool of blood with what appeared to be bloody animal tracks leading away from the scene. He pulled out his cellphone and called the guard post.
    “Lucille, you’re not going to believe what I discovered,” he said and told her about his discovery.
    “Call the police.”
    “I will.  Should we close down the beach?”
    “People are already arriving.  I’ll keep an eye out for anything suspicious.  Call me when the police are done with their investigation.”  She hung up the phone and walked out of the guard post.  She climbed down the stairs and walked along the beach.  She didn’t see any large animal tracks.  Whatever
