Beach Body, Part One
There was something strange up ahead, a dark, formless lump lying on the sand. Joseph’s pace slowed as he drew closer, until he dropped out of his jogging stride entirely, peering curiously at the shape as he walked slowly closer. Mist hung in the cool morning air, especially here, right on the shores of the loch, making it hard to figure out exactly what he was looking at. He tugged the earbuds out of his ears as he drew closer, too focused on the mystery thing to enjoy Queen properly. His mind generated possibilities, only to reject them almost as quickly as they formed, it definitely wasn’t a dead body, or a piece of driftwood, or an old tire…
As he approached it, his confusion only grew. “What the…” He muttered. It was a dark brown, and long, nearly as long as he was tall, and flat, like a deflated miniature blimp, but with little flaps attached at one end. He bent his knees, crouching down to get a closer look. It had a long slit running all the way down it, lying open on the sand. It looked almost like wetsuit material on the inside but the outside was... fuzzy? Curiosity got the best of him. He reached out, curiously touching the thing. Wet leather?
