    The waves brush against my sides; pulling and pushing me sideways, forwards, backwards, and under. I feel the strength of the current, hungering for something more. Never being one for open water, I run, the water parting as though it was softened butter. After what feels like an eternity, I emerge. My tiny feet leave light footprints in the gritty sand. My ankles become exposed to the chilly air as I distance myself and the shoreline. Feeling something slimy grazing my feet, I reach down to take it off and my eyes glance downwards by habit, though I can’t see anything. Probably seaweed. I fee...EJ9one door

    Over the Edge

    I looked past the cliff beyond the fog and saw nothing. It was daylight outside, but pure darkness within the fog. There was too much mist to even make out the shape of a tree. The current had picked up only within an hour of being at my parent’s uphill cabin in the middle of nowhere. "Are you just gonna stand out there or are you gonna help me take out these groceries?" Jenna huffed.I turned my head to look back at her and realized she was wearing Spongebob shorts and pink flip-flops with a grey zipped-up hoodie. She, out of all people, would know not to wear summer-induced clothing, during...EJ9one door
