Harley Sachs's short story "The Beach" was chosen as best prose piece in a 2002 state-wide contest for authors living in Oregon retirement homes.
When they arrived at the Pacific coast seven year old
"The Beach"
Jeremy was already out of his shoes and shaking the back of the driver's seat as if pushing would make them arrive faster. "The beach!"
His normally silent brother Ivram did not stand. Though he was four, he was securely strapped into his car seat.
Ivram, his face its usual contortion, echoed, "Beach."
