Monday Memories: Here It Comes!

Courtesy of Pinterest.

Barney, an American tourist, is visiting an Aboriginal cultural site in Australia.  For his enthusiastic audience, one of the guides plans to demonstrate how to throw a boomerang

He flings the L-shaped projectile outward, with the intention of it returning back to him.  Or so . . . he hopes everything works out as intended.

As the summer heat burns up the air’s remaining moisture, Barney pulls out his water bottle for a thirst-quenching gulp.  Unaware, he wanders right in front of the guide.

Sometimes, opposite forces must interact in a cataclysmic event.  Now is one of those moments when time stands still.

The guide offers a hurried instruction, “Here it comes mate!”
