At the Beach

Imagine that you are on the coast of the Pacific Ocean.  You see something come in on the tide that you didn't expect to see on the beach.  Write a short news article explaining:

• What it is
• Where it came from
• When it landed in the Pacific Ocean
• Who is with you when you find it
• What happens next

(This writing prompt was inspired by the Japanese dock that washed up on the Oregon Coast after the tsunami.)
