She stepped through the sand tall sea grass grazed her pale legs moonlight illuminated her white face her blue eyes, the color of a lake frozen over her hair, black and dead the sea called to her it beckoned with rolling thunder and jagged electricity her toes reached the water the ocean reared excitedly goosebumps rose on every inch of her skin raindrops bounced off the water the water, now up to her knees climbing higher, eager, by the inch with every step she took until it engulfed her entire body cold, deep and black it forced its way into her lungs she smiled and the current rocked her like a humming mother until she felt herself fade away until she was gone. the ocean gently laid the body on the beach her dead eyes stared into the starry night the gentle smile forever played on her pale lips
