An ocean wave crashed loudly against the shore like a boom of thunder, loud and terrifying. The sky exhaled muggy puffs of breath over our shoulders. Rain poured down in buckets, drenching us to our bones.
“How’s it going, John?” I asked.
“Oh, you know,” he answered. “Just slightly damp over here.”
I laughed. His sense of humor was a desert.
