Ophelia Adrift
“It was like he controlled the moon and shone it into my bedroom. It leaked through the curtains, hanging suspended out the front of our home in the middle of the ocean. It was just after three o’clock when I stirred and decided to rise. Sometimes, when I can’t sleep, the only answer is to get up and do something. I had to keep the noise down however so I didn’t wake Uncle Seb, Adam and the furry kids.
I decided to sit in the bay window in my room again and watch the ocean, maybe I would see... a ship on the horizon or some of the trawlers coming in. I pulled track pants and a knit pullover on over my T-shirt and underpants and prying open some of the curtain, slipped into the bay window seat. I turned to look down below and jumped in fright. He was there again, the same guy, this time he stood on the rocks looking directly up at me, his hands in his coat pockets, as though he had been waiting for me to appear.
My heart was beating so fast from the fright.MoreLess
