Midnight Swim
Monday, 3. August 2009, 22:49:40
She walks alone in the dark on the boardwalk not knowing what to do. Voices are around her.
She remembers the haunting faces of her past and the memories of the present. She can no longer stand the many changes her mind goes through.
To her kids she was just another problem. To her family she is a burden. She died a long time ago and now she dies a little bit every day.
She walks to the beach. Her favorite place since she was a kid. Sand sifts through her fingers and warms her toes.
She looks out to the sea. The waves are now lapping at her feet. She knows what she must do.
She must unburden everyone.
And with that, she takes a midnight swim.
