A regrettable turn of events

There's been an incident. On Sunday 17th October, Mr Samuel Baldwin and I were engaged in a friendly bout of frisbee throwing on Mikata beach. Then, disaster. As he was lining up his umpteenth throw of the disc that day, Mr Samuel Baldwin made a grievous error: in his excitement he mistook me, a human being, for the Sea of Japan, and proceeded to lob the frisbee into the arms of old father Neptune. Not being one to give up an expensive piece of plastic so easily, I waded in after it, managing to retrieve the errant disc. But Neptune had other plans. In a wanton act of revenge he commanded the waves to rise up and dash upon my brow, leaving me soaked to the skin. With sand in my pants, too.

Unfortunately, my mobile phone was in my pocket at the time. And now it's buggered. 

DAMN YOU NEPTUNE! DAMN YOUR EYES!!!!!

Mikata Beach - beautiful, but deadly.
Myself, Lewis, pre-incident.

Mr Samuel Baldwin points to the spot where he lobbed my innocent frisbee into the cold embrace of the sea.
