beach â ď¸
so I was down the beach and saw a strange interesting looking box thing bobbing in the water just off the sand
I grabbed a stick to pull it in to check it out, it was heavy, took a step in the water to have a look, I have good waterproof boots, read the label
cremation remains!!!
I didnât touch, left it there in the water, I scooted outta there
it will wash up overnight , Iâll let the early morning walkers deal with it
took a pic of the beach

Oh wow, I wouldâve freaked out a bit too. Someone doing a sea burial and didnât put the box out far enough, or not realising that you can open the box and hopefully not do a Big Lebowski with the ashes as you cast them to the wind over the sea? Iâm picturing a group of people having an emotional and heartfelt goodbye at the end of the pier, and ceremonially and reverently tossing the box into the water⌠only to have it slowly bob itâs way back onto the beach! I guess thatâs life (and death) for ya.

thatâs what I was thinking, just people throwing the box off the pier or maybe from a boat not far enough off shore
I was also wondering the who and how , it will be a farce when it gets to them via the cops

OMG and then they have to do the âcasting into the seaâ ceremony again⌠but they decide to do it further out, from a boat this time, but thereâs a storm and they take refuge on a remote beach and what comes bobbing into shore?

Omg I love this story. Sounds like a great start of a movie. Eventually they try moving house and one day they open a cupboard and whatâs there?!
