Stitches nodded as he laid out his towel on the warm sand. "Great view in the daylight, I'm sure. But I only hike at night."

Tales from NeoNoir: Pastel Persuasions

I feel the spacecraft sputter and stall as it hits the Hangar floor. The woosh of air over the scratched glass top as it opens causes the breath to reenter my lungs.

"Mynci’s Beach: Sand, Sun, and Second Chances" by kindnessx
The sun rose over the shoreline of Mystery Island, spilling warm light across the sand where laughter was already beginning to echo. It was the kind of morning that felt made for games. It was warm out, felt breezy, and humming with excitement. A colourful banner stretched between two palm trees read: “Mynci Beach Volleyball Tournament!” Neopets of all kinds had gathered around, forming small groups along the shore. Some were stretching, and others practising serves. The waves rolled in with a relaxing sound. “Alright, teams!” Called out a Yellow Mynci named Tiki. He had taken it upon himself to organise the event. He stood on top of a driftwood log and announced, “Let’s keep things friendly but competitive!” A Red Shoyru named Lisa stretched her wings and smiled. “Friendly is my middle name,” she said. “That’s not even true,” muttered a Green Aisha named Stella, who happened to be a teammate. “You cried last time you lost,” she said while adjusting her headband. “I did not cry,” Lisa shot back. “I simply expressed disappointment.” Nearby, a group of Kacheeks were giggling. The teams started to quickly form. There were players who played seasonally, and then others who had only just begun playing for the first time. Nobody really cared about skill level because it was all about fun. Sidney, a Blue Gelert, hovered near the edge of the group. He wasn’t sure how he ended up here. He’d only meant to walk along the beach and collect shells. Somehow, he’d been swept into a team with Lisa and Stella. “You’ll do great.” Stella told him, “Just hit the ball over the net, and that is as simple as it gets.” “That’s good to know. Thank you.” Sidney replied.
