Staring
I stared out over the Atlantic. The waves crashing against the rocks. The bleak and desolate landscape. It made me feel like I was living in a cliche view. There was no one around; in the distance, there was a red-painted wooden house. The clouds were a dark grey, bordering on being threatening. The waves […]
