Sitting cold in his jams, blanket folds curled around him in a shady area, Joey looked skeptically into the pool at the inflated plastic dinosaur. He had craved the inflatable at the Target store, begged his mom to buy it and she did. The day had been a scorcher, as his dad called it, and the cool water was soothing. A pool was so much better than a sandy beach and he could run into the house at any time for a snack. His shady nook was getting boring, but there was no way he was going to get on that plastic monster, which still floated on the top of the water, teasing him. His parents seemed unawares that the smiling dinosaur was scary. He knew it, though, because when he first sat on it, it whispered to him. Joey was stunned, and when it whispered again, he hopped off and took refuge on the cement edging of the pool. He could try to tell his parents, but they wouldn’t believe him.
