Lunch Time Writing Prompt: Dig Again

Challenge found on Pinterest from Daily Writing Prompt:



So here is my lunch time story:

It was my turn to dig again.  I grab the shovel with blistered hands, mindful of the broken handle to avoid splinters.

Billy scrambles out of the hole as I slide down the opposite side.  We were getting deeper, but still, no findings.  I settle into the rhythm of pushing the shovel into the ground, prying up the dirt, and slinging the soil over my shoulder as my mind wanders.


After a while, Billy says, "Looks like rain."  I grunt my displeasure and keep digging.  Fairly soon, raindrops start falling, gliding down the sides of the hole.  Billy takes over just as the lowest part of the hole starts collecting a puddle.
