Uncle Bernie parked his car alongside the dunes behind the rock fishing beach. Nursing a bucket in the back seat, Leo had vomited several times during the drive, and the last bumpy section on the off-road track leading to the beach hadn't helped. \"Chuck up in the bucket,\" Uncle Bernie had warned him. \"I don't want any stains on the upholstery.\"
The Nine Lives of Leo Roberts — One: Rock Fishing is a short story by Robert Fairhead from the Tall And True writers' website.
