Day Three is already here. I really enjoyed writing this one. The picture was beautiful and I hope you can feel the emotion in my writing. I woke up this morning and it is raining. It smells wonderful!
Waves on the Sand
The sky thundered and blew above her; the sea raged and tossed before her. Only the gritty sand beneath her and the calm city behind her remained the same. He was gone. He had decided he didn’t want to be her dad anymore so he’d packed his bags and left. Now all she had was her mother.
As the dark sea rolled and crashed onto the beach, Eva's tears made small puddles on the sand before they were absorbed into the unquenchable sand. The wind blew, filling the air with brine and fresh rain, and threatened to rip away her red and white umbrella.
Hours passed.
Finally, the storm abated leaving behind no sign it had ever been so violent. Taking a final deep breath, the storm inside of Eva forgave the man who should have been her bedrock. Turning from the calming sea, Eva felt a pull on her red dress to turn back.
She didn't.
One final angry wave swept across the smooth beach, wiping away Eva's footprints, before retreating back into the salty sea.
