A tsunami the weatherman called it. I’d never heard the word before but the report said it was like a giant tidal wave that could destroy everything it touched. I doubted that, I didn’t think water could be so powerful. Either way I hollered at Leo to grab his inflatable shark and come pack up all the same. He continued to play in the tranquil ocean.
I felt the rumbling and watched the sand shake violently beneath me. Leo’s discarded beach ball began rolling toward him in the water as if looking for home. The radio fell flat, muffling the threats of the weatherman. I was terrified.

"The breakers rolled and smashed against each other inside my body."

Leo looked up from the calm ocean water, dropping the inflatable shark with terror. He couldn't see his mother.I was taken by the waves and Leo was alone on the beach. The body tsunami had engulfed me.
