Prompt #425 using the word ‘lagoon’,
with inspiration from a great image
by Kevin @ No Theme Thursday.
In exactly 48 words, this is my take.
It’s a still day at Nanatachie Lagoon. So still and warm, the sleepy fishermen could easily doze off. Unaware are they of the pair of soulless eyes of the leviathan watching them from the depths. Just as well. They’ll be far better off not knowing what hit them.

The Elephant's Trunk 
It’s what’s under the surface that always gets us. Excellent, Nancy!

Whoops … your story just woke me up, I’m so tired, I was dozing off, especially with that lovely old ‘Platters’ song ((5 Micro Soft shutdowns today, and then a damn ‘power outage’… )) … I swore at the computer and thump my desk, Frankie came running in and gave me lick, which stopped me from going completely crazy!! … here’s a crazy music/video from Beluga Lagoon …

What an oddly beautiful video, dear Ivor. I loved it. 🥰
I’m sorry you’re having computer problems again. It’s enough to drive anyone bonkers. Good luck with that, my friend. Thank goodness for dear Frankie. 🐶

I used to work for a man named Joe Saner at Dun & Bradstreet. He was a bit of a train wreck lol!
