I can't get this "left her alone on the beach" out of my mind. Shepard Smith even said that, when he was in college, it was commonplace for guys to leave girls who'd had too much to drink. Am I naive or is this, in fact, commonplace? [shudder]

It happened to me many moons ago when I was a high school graduate going to summer school at the University of Hawaii in Honolulu. We went out on a catamaran cruise 'mixer'. I met an older guy from New York and after the cruise a group of us went and had pizza, then he and I took a stroll on the beach. He got fresh with me and I didn't comply. He got p*ssed and left me there, and it was 1:00 a.m. in the morning! It taught me a huge lesson and scared me to death, but fortunately I found my friends and got back to the dorm alright.

Wow. Something to tell my daughters tonight.

There are probably a million stories such as yours.

There but for the Grace of God goes Demkicker.

Very well written -it scared me to death too, with flashbacks.
