Sloppy Battles
November 17, 2023
I felt my toes sinking into the white powdery sand as I looked out into the sea. The serene waters called me; I desperately wished home was like this. A civil war back home told me to flee. It was these silly, sloppy battles in which I wished I would be carried away by these currents. Distressed, I threw a stone in the ocean, which ricocheted on the waters as the bullets did on me. Just a ways ahead, the sight of two figures embracing caught my eye. Maybe these gunshots could be carelessly fired, but love could still win.
