The Waves and the Sunset

Noah stared out the window of his house at the beautiful beach before him. Gentle waves brushed the shore, dragging sand away when they left. The sky overhead was blue and clear, and the soft scent of saltwater filled the air. The world, as always, was silent.

Noah's watch buzzed, and he looked at it. Someone was ringing the doorbell. Leaving the living room, he crossed to the front door and opened it.

Hi. Sun signed in ASL when she spoke to Noah, so he could understand. Care to join me for a walk on the beach?

Absolutely, Noah responded, smiling.

Taking Sun's outstretched hand, Noah stepped outside and closed his front door, letting Sun lead him across the beach.

The waves seemed small and almost playful as the couple laughed and swam and chased each other all across the beach, then sat to watch the sun set on the horizon.

  • It Gets Better

    Sometimes
    I wake up
    And I just can’t
    I can’t get up
    I can’t go to school
    I can’t go get my meds
    Why?
    Because sometimes
    It’s too much
    Accepting this world
    Is just too much
    And I just can’t
    Make myself
