Laid Bare
“After maneuvering her way through the streets, she finally left the city behind her and now found herself on the outskirts of town. With her body running on empty it was only sheer will and utter determination that currently kept her going.
Exhausted from the hard hike, she nearly sobbed with relief when the tangy taste of salt settled on the back of her tongue. Saline droplets saturated the still night air and she took a deep, gulping breath to draw them into her lungs. Her body quickly absorb...ed the briny beads, but those few measly molecules weren’t nearly enough to sustain her.
She hobbled forward and when she came upon a long twisting driveway she followed the winding curves, taking care to shadow herself in the dark tree line until the ocean was finally in her view.
Knowing she was close to being reunited with her beloved waters, her pulse leapt in her throat. She was about to dash forward, despite the pain in her ankle, but her footsteps stilled when she spotted a large man standing on the dock.MoreLess
