About this ebook
Agents 32 and 33 of the hard-to-define entity known as psecret psociety investigate the small North Coast (California, USA) enclave of Manila on Arcata Bay. They soon realize that they may be stranded for fifteen hours. But then, a pair of kind Asian gents accost them and let them know an option for getting to their desired destination. With time on their hands, they head out to the sand dunes near the surf. An interesting conversation ensues, comparing big (Philippines) Manila and little (California) Manila, as the much younger lad amazes with his aerial skill. But, there is one more Manila - the other Manila.
Approx. 1,800 words.
If this little sketch were a movie, it would most likely by rated G (or possibly PG-13).
