Weekly Contest #258

Click! Click! “Sadie, come on.” Click! “One more,” fourteen-year-old Sadie said. Click! Click! Sean groaned. “That’s what you said half an hour ago.” Sadie sighed and lowered the camera. “Fine. Let’s go.” It was the summer holiday. Their parents, Mr. and Mrs. Henry, who were on a diplomatic tour in New York, had sent the twins to Jamaica to spend the holiday with their grandma, Keturah.
