Footprints

I dug my feet into the soft sand. Rocks got wedged between my toes. The ocean's salty breeze blew through my hair. As I stared at the sunset, I was at peace and the world around me disappeared. I unwrapped a chocolate bar and savored the delicate taste. Seagulls flew close to me as if to close onto their prey. As the ocean moved to high tide the water gently licked my toes and sea foam left their mark on the sand. A voice broke through my peace and I was brought back to reality. I pocketed my wrapper and walked away from the ocean. The only evidence that I had ever been there were the footprints left in the sand. Footprints that a child may, in the morning or some other day, follow unless, like me, they wash away.

Author's Note

I love the beach and the ocean so I decided that I would write something about it.

@lil lisa:
The beauty of this story is that it can be anybody, even you. This type of story you can guess what happens and why she's there. However, I know that the reader doesn't always like that so maybe sometime soon I'll post more to this story.

I do write books... It's just easier to post shorter things on here. :)

I think you could become a very good writer and I think it would be great if you write longer stories. Well written.
