Jose had had just about enough.
Damn those American tourists and all their whinging.
Their collective ignorance astounded him.
Did they know this was a one-paddle vessel?
His loud and obnoxious passengers had thrown him a hundred dollar note saying they wanted to see the sights of Caustic Grando.
He’d riled at comments like; ‘I could walk faster than this.’ And the greatest insult of all: “You know if they stuck an outboard on the back of this boat they’d make a heap more money.’
Jose was a patient man and propelled the boat forward, his sights set on the reef. As they approached it the boat heaved in the waves, rocking the passengers back and forward, up and down, their respective stomachs emptied of their lunch contents, their mouths shut in fear that they might soon join their regurgitated lunch in the swirling waters.
The small boat slid back across the now still waters, the passengers gripping the sides, their sights set on land and safety. Only Jose was smiling.

Oh, very nice! Jose got his revenge, but who can complain about waves on the ocean?

And Oh, Thank you very much for writing such a nice story on my prompt, I hardly get ideas when I look at my pics … 🙂
You are welcome. When I looked at the image Jose jumped out at me.
Jose made me wonder if I could take a pleasurable revenge someday, I too would be grinning 😀
Love it….Good for Jose! He didn’t have to say a word…just let the action take care of the complaining about the boat and cause them to focus on something less enjoyable for them! 🙂 🙂
Yes exactly lucky. Actions they always speak louder than words…
Mwhahaha! Jose was able to shut them up in a way that wouldn’t make him lose his job. Did he say, “Come back soon” at the end? XD
I think he offered them a hand as they disembarked and thought thank goodness that is over.
I think they got exactly what they deserved! Great story. 🙂
Thanks Louise I think so too. Have a good evening.
