"Come on, Sarah!" I heard my mom calling me.
"Got to go," I said, brushing the dirt off my bathing suit.
"That's okay," the red creature said. "Ole Red's signalling the game's over. Thanks for letting me build this castle of white sand with you."
Sarah laughed. "You still talk weird. A bit old-fashioned, Momma would say."
"I had fun today," Red told her.
"Sarah!"
"Does the Castle Beyond the Goblin City really look like this?" Sarah said, eyeing the sand sculpture.
"Ole Red got called up before Queen Mispa for throwing his head at some bigwig goblin and I got to go to his sentencing with him," Red told her. "Yep, it does."
"Sarah, I'm not to call you again!" Linda Williams called out, swinging the duffle bag over her shoulder.
"What did they do?" Sarah asked, ignoring her mother's voice.
"Beheaded him," Red told her. "Gives the executioner something to do."
"Okay," Sarah said, waving good-bye to the wild red creature.
Linda sighed as she watched her young daughter climb the sand-dunes up to where she was waiting by the car. "Who were you playing with today?"
"Fiery Red," her daughter answered. "The Wild Gang came to the beach today."
"That's nice, dear," her mother said, closing the car door. "Put your seatbelt on, please."
"Okay, Momma," five years old Sarah Williams chirped.
