Character Study

This is a brief character study from a writing workshop I went to on the weekend. I might use her in future for a short story that I am planning. Feedback is welcome. The exercise involved picking a random object and writing a scene for your character including it. I got a shell.

"This is a marine park you know!" he whined "you aren't allowed to take anything".

I ignored him as I slipped the shell into my pocket and walked away from him towards the water. I should have put on the 30+, there is no point in tempting these freckles to get any worse.

"I hate the beach, It makes my hair get all knotted. This isn't even a nice beach. And that fat sweaty guy really shouldn't be jogging in public."

"You, are, such a cow!" he replied.

I turned around to look at him. I felt like smacking him in the face with one of the rocks from the beach but, I just made a face. Besides I wouldn't want to disturb any crabs or anything, would I?

Very funny!

Perhaps the fat sweaty guy, could also be hairy. And, as the word "man-boobs" should always be used in every day conversation, you have a great opportunity to use it there.
