Prompt: Sea

The night it didn’t happen, they were on the beach, chasing a random demon.  Over the dunes, down to the shore, into the churning surf.  It dissolved there, anticlimactically, a floating green scum.

They were bent double, giggling helplessly, clutching at each other; and suddenly, they were kissing, desire all around them like a fog.  Then Harris pulled back, and shook his head, as if rousing himself from a dream.

The memory comes to him, from time to time; a faint, familiar echo in his ears.  His heart doesn’t beat, but it bruises.  Regret sounds to Spike like the sea.

Thank you, and thank you again for posting the prompt. I've been missing open on sunday. I hope you'll keep prompting!

I've been thinking about prompting but figure I should give the real mod a chance to. Likely I'll put prompts up on Tuesdays if nobody beats me to it.
