It is time to catch some waves at a yearly surfing competition.  But this competition always has a hidden twist.  So, what will it be this year?  It has to be spicier than last year where they shrunk the contestants who were trying to surf.  I mean why would there be blueberries lying around?  (This story is the Patreon voted story of the month and will come to DA on July 21st.  There is also a poll for part 2 already up on my Patreon.)

“Hello. State your name, please.” He didn’t bother to look up at Gwen as he tapped away at his phone. “Hurry up, please. It is hot out.”

             Gwen narrowed her eyes. “Yes, it is.” She slammed her hands down on the table. “My name is Gwen Terryson. I am here to surf!”

             The man gulped as he tried not to spill his drink. “Hey! Do you have any idea how hard it is for me to get this thing refilled?” He looked up at her. “Gwen, was it? Ok.”

He handed her a blue piece of gum. “Here, eat this, and then take a surfboard.”

             Gwen looked down at the gum. “Why? What is this for?”

             He sighed. “It is part of this year’s twist. The gum will enhance you as you surf ok. Do you want to try for the grand prize or not?”

             Her eyes drifted off into space as she imagined herself holding the winner’s trophy. “Ohhh, I can see it now. It is amazing.”

             He tapped his fingers on the side of the lemonade glass. “Well, then eat the damn gum and get a surfboard already.” He turned her around and pushed her down the pier. “And stop holding up the line.”
