‘How long before it reaches the surface?’
‘I’d say we have twenty minutes.’
‘Do we know what it is? Have forensics been contacted?’
‘They’ll not touch it until it’s surfaced. All we can do is wait and see. Whichever way it turns out, they’ll be someone disappointed.’
‘So should we just sit here? Or come back?’
‘Let’s sit. It’s not as if we have anything else to do, and personally I’m as keen as anyone to find out of the Easter Bunny lays white or milk chocolate eggs.’
This story is written in response to Sacha Black’s latest writespiration, here. The words came from my journal as the nearest writing to hand when I read her post and have been highlighted. The picture I took today in Dulwich Woods.

About TanGental
My name is Geoff Le Pard. Once I was a lawyer; now I am a writer. I've published several books: a four book series following Harry Spittle as he grows from hapless student to hapless partner in a London law firm; four others in different genres; a book of poetry; four anthologies of short fiction; and a memoir of my mother. I have several more in the pipeline.
I have been blogging regularly since 2014, on topic as diverse as: poetry based on famous poems; memories from my life; my garden; my dog; a whole variety of short fiction; my attempts at baking and food; travel and the consequent disasters; theatre, film and book reviews; and the occasional thought piece. Mostly it is whatever takes my fancy.
I avoid politics, mostly, and religion, always. I don't mean to upset anyone but if I do, well, sorry and I suggest you go elsewhere.
These are my thoughts and no one else is to blame. If you want to nab anything I post, please acknowledge where it came from.

Love it! The photo and the flash. I wrote this prompt, too, but had a Periodic Table of Elements book for kids nearby. Was weird. Happy spring! 🌷🐰🌿🐥
