Drabble Challenge #47 [Alternate]

Prompt: conflicted

I’ve always loved swimming, so living near the ocean is wonderful. Or at least it has been… but the news report last night is making me rethink any future beach plans.

Apparently, due to human-created Climate Change—you know, the thing they used to call Global Warming—the Atlantic is warmer alongside the coast of Georgia than it used to be. This warmth has brought some very unpleasant, and down right SCARY newcomers, which were profiled on the news.

These visitors aren’t rude tourists, or even criminals fleeing colder climates.

They’re poisonous, stinging Portuguese Men-Of-War… or maybe Portuguese Man-Of-Wars.

YIKES!!!
