Okay, more data entry.
Shall we start a #ChainStory today? Something with a spooky theme, perhaps?
I'm thinking one line at a time, with each person adding more chaos, intrigue, adventure, and shivers to the last.
This opener is inspired by M.R. James and @JGSchaeffer ❤️:
"After my last visit to the coast, where we cast my grandfather's ashes into the wind atop a cliff he'd walked every day for half a century, the ocean followed me wherever I would roam."

I'd feel the tickle of water lapping at my heels, and occasionally the briny scent of salt water, but if I looked down, there was nothing there.

I had had this experience once before, years ago.
I'd been a child then, and my parents never believed me when I said I'd waded with my grandfather into the water by his home, in my dreams.
@MLClark @EileenKCarpenter @misterfive Meanwhile, Grandma was packing for her trip to Vegas with a "gentleman friend" she'd met in an online casino. She really liked him and besides, he never asked to "borrow" more than $50.00 when he was down on his luck. And, he had a nice smile in his profile pic.

Back then the experience had been--if not comforting--at least comfortable; now the ocean was hungry, the salt stinging my skin as the waves tasted my ankles.
