The beautiful clear blue sea stretches out for what feels like infinity. The warm sea breeze hits my cheek as I stare out amongst the waves. I turn to see my beautiful son held by my loving wife. This warmth feels like a cozy night by the bonfire sharing snacks and stories amongst loved ones. Like a great fur blanket in a beautiful lodging while the snow pours outside. Even more like the warm embrace of the one you hold closest. She stares at me with a galaxy of stars within her eyes and I get lost in them. I see twinkling constellations of fate in a shifting sky scape. Two moons orbiting, one known as Catha, a large all encompassing mass that shifts from a quick vermillion to a dullish deep red, maroon, and sometimes purple. It travels across the skies hidden within her eyes.Alongside it, Ruidus, a small far off moon seeming to reflect a subtle red. As I slowly bring myself back to the beach I find a salty ocean brimming the sky filled eyes of my wife. It leaks from her eyelids sliding down her obsidian black skin.

The sun has but vanished and the warmth along with it. My smile quickly fades as I take in the shifting scenery around me. The sea turns a murky dusty blue, and the moons seen in her eyes take shape in the sky. Catha breathes life on the far east of the coast as Ruidus sits lost in the sea of sparkling notes on the west. I turn to see my wife, her face a blur, my son gone from her hands and left with nothing but tears trailing her cheeks. “What is happening love where is . . .” my throat chokes on the words I was about to mutter as I think of my son's name, nothing comes to my hazy thoughts. I look at her trying to see her face, but even her name is lost from my memory. She says in a muffled voice “I love you . . . both.” as her body fades away like a heat wave above the sea's waves. 

I jolt awake, salty water coughing from deep within my lungs as I wipe my eyes from the stinging salty sensation. I stare up to see a beautiful star scape with Catha shining a bright vermillion as well as Ruidus giving an unusually bright red. My head drops as I notice small droplets of liquid splash imprints in the beach’s sand. I swear I knew why I was crying, but the reason evades me. As my eyes are overcome with tears I look out to an obscure dusty blue sea which stretches out for what feels like infinity.
