sinking sunlight glittered off the water. i stared at the orange and blue as they washed together. my mind was blank, and i wouldn’t realize until after. i watched my feet dangle above the water, as my eyes drifted in and out of focus. the breeze blew my hair and i leaned back on my hands. i was so thankful to be here, i had waited so long for this. there was an aura of orange in the sky, fading into blue, and then gray. i waited until there was no more orange, only blue and gray. there was cold sand under my feet as i walked to my bike. and then? i was gone. i was gone as quick as i was there.
