“Race you to the waves” Josh said suddenly.
They both started sprint to wards the water. They jumped over the fence and landed on the sand, they picked there pace up and headed closer to the sea. Drake powered a head of Josh but stopped when he noticed something further along the beach. A sudden breeze past by Drake as Josh ran past him.
“Yes, I won,” Josh announced “I beat you by a mile”
Drake ignored Josh’s trip down hyperbole lane and dropped his surf board. He started to walk towards what had stopped him it was a mound of something. And it was black. As Drake walked he realised that the sand beneath his feet was changing. It felt strange, as if he was walking of glass; it was rough and sharp. When Drake was three meters from the mound he stopped in shock. The mound was a body. Two beige sandals poked out from one end of it.
“Josh” Drake shouted.
“What is it” Josh replied.
“Come and see, and bring your mobile” Drake ordered.
Josh ran over to where Drake was standing and gazed at the mound.
“What the hell” Josh said in shock.
“It’s a body” Drake replied.
“Realised that” said Josh “but what is wrong with the sand.
Drake Had not noticed, as he dialled 911 he inspected the sand further it was changing right in front of his eyes. It was turning black. The stared to shake Drake dropped the phone.
“Yo man that’s new” josh said.
Drake did not hear he was too busy watching as the sand started to funnel under ground taking the body with it.
“What’s going on here man” Josh said unnerved
“I have no idea” said Drake “but looks like the ground is pulling the body under.”
As soon as Drake had finished the two boys started to run. As they jumped back over the fence Drake’s words were still ringing in Josh’s ears how could the ground pull a body he thought to himself but didn’t want to stay and find out.
