Taking a break from my lab, in Jeanerette I
was strolling along the coast.

The Sun was bright, the day just right.

I spotted a glimmer, in the sand, just at
the water's edge.

Picking it up, it looked like a mini-Tobasco
bottle that came in the MRE's, when Uncle
Sam employed me.

Upon further curious inspection, it looked
like it had a tiny piece of paper inside.

I rushed back to the lab (much to the consternation
of the others) and carefully removed it from the
bottle.

With my best bi-focals, I couldn't make out the text.

Using one of our microscopes, I finally got it.

"I'm a crab. Please help us."

I hung my head, in shame.

+1 from me also. That's pretty much the way I feel.

Could ring true for just about any marine species right about now.

Great concept for a longer writing. I'll steal it!:D for my students.

Ok then lex - I'll do it in the summer with a creative writing class.

That and some "monster cafe" menu posters. Done this one before a few times, the kids love it and there's always one that feeds them a shit sandwich.
