I took a wrong turn and ended up on a small dock I hadn't found before. Not much to see; three or four parking spots, a couple of boats. The water was murky; tiny fish just below the surface made mere vanishing glimmers. But on one side, where the sunlight managed to sneak in, there was a big purple starfish.

I like that kind of mistakes.

Andaba distraida y me equivoqué de calle, acabando en un embarcadero que no había visto antes. Un embarcadero muy chico, con estacionamiento para tres o cuatro camionetas, amarradero para dos barcos. Le llega poca luz; el agua estaba turbia y pececitos apenas bajo la superficie hacían destellos pasajeros de luz. Pero en una esquina, donde el sol lograba colarse, una estrella de mar grande se había acercado a la superficie.

Me gusta esa clase de errores.

I'm having to moderate all comments because Blogger seems to have a problem notifying me. Sorry about that. I will review them several times daily, though, until this issue is fixed.
Also, I have word verification on, because I found out that not only do I get spam without it, but it gets passed on to anyone commenting in that thread. Not cool!
