Chapter 13 Time Flows

The setting sun sank silently to the bottom of the ocean, taking away with it the last rays of the day. Glowing orange merely moments before, the ocean slowly descended into blackness, making everything seem inexplicably melancholy and sad.

Michaela was seated atop the hood of her Land Rover as she gazed into the distance where the ocean and the sky met, hidden by a mysterious veil of the night.

Shadowy figures could be vaguely seen on the beach not far away. Running barefoot, they were engaged in carefree play upon the shore. The occasional peals of laughter completed the beautiful innocence of the scene.
