The bear reached over with his massive paw and tried to very gently #pat her head. Her knees almost buckled, but she made appreciative noises.
"Do think Forrest would…"
"Try and you'll lose an eyeball!" Forrest screeched from above. (3/3) #wss366

They sat in silence for several moments, until Brunhilde pointedly cleared her throat.
"Oh!" the bear said. "Would you like some head pats?"
"If you please," she said archly. (2/3) #wss366

"Hey! Hey!" Brunhilde said. "Do you like head pats?"
The bear flicked a bit of ash from end of his cigarette and considered the question.
"I don't know," he said finally. "I've never gotten any."
"That's terrible!" Brunhilde said. "Head pats are the best." (1/3) #wss366

Grandpa’s calloused palm,
#Patting tiny floury hands,
Warmth to make rise.

"Fun Meals!" shrieked the Angels. They charged past Racy, up onto the beach, where the man gave one to each of them.
Racy walked over to Bebe as she sat on the sand and tore open her Fun Meal.
"Where's the shell?" she asked.
"Bebe dropped it," Bebe said. (5/5) #wss366

"Um… What do you want?"
"Bebe wants a Fun Meal."
"I'll get you one!" Racy said excitedly, reaching her hand out.
"Did someone say Fun Meal?" A man was pulling a wagon filled with Fun Meals. "I got too many and I have nine extra. Do you want them?" (4/5) #wss366

She walked down to the surf calling out, "Angels! Angels!"
The Angels ran over and crowded around her.
"If you see a #shell with blue lines on it, bring it to me."
"Bebe found one like that," Bebe said, holding one up.
"Ooh! Let me have it!" Racy said.
"What will you give Bebe for it?" (3/5) #wss366

"Brr!" she said. "So cold!"
"What kind of scam are running this time?"
"No scam!" she said. She bent over conspiratorially and whispered. "There's a sea #shell you can find here that brings you good luck."
"Go away!" David said, closing his eyes.
"Be that way!" she snorted. (2/5) #wss366

On a hot day, David brought the Better Angels to the beach after their concert. He closed his eyes and relaxed under an umbrella while the Angels played in the surf.
"Nice spot you've got here," said Racy.
He slitted his eyes and glared.
"What are you doing here, Captain Reckless?" (1/5) #wss366

#Acrid chemicals,
Soaking through the denim cloth,
Still refuse to bow.
