MINHO NEWTON
The sound of my footsteps echoing of the building, surrounds me as I trudged down the street towards the beach. I don’t know why but I’m always drawn to the beach and I can stop myself, it’s like my body has control over itself, a mind of its own. The sky above me was a splash of oranges, yellows, blues and purples as the sun crept below the horizon. It was beautiful. There was a slight sea breeze and the air smelled of salt and seaweed. I felt a smile play on the corners of my lips as I reached the beach and stepped onto the soft cool golden sand. I sighed with pleasure and dug my toes into the damp sand wiggling them around. I move along further down the beach towards the harbor which held the boats and was a small speck of black in the distance. Slowly I made my way down towards the harbor and the sky was almost black with tinges of dark blue that slashed across the night sky.
I finally reached the harbor and I took in a long deep breath, the cool nigh air filling my lungs. The harbor was basically made up of one lonely sad looking dock made of wood and a few old rickety boats which were tied to the poles with long thick spiraling rope. It wasn’t much but I always thought that the tattiness and raggedness of the harbor was what made it beautiful and peaceful. I stepped up onto the wooden docks and the boards groaned with complaint. I carefully placed my feet along the dock when there was a sudden movement to my left. I let out a low scream of surprise and tripped over my feet. I stumbled to the edge of the dock but grabbed hold of the pole before I went tumbling into the depths of the deep dark sea. I stood up straight and put my hands on my hips with defiance and turned to face the person who was standing in front of me.“what are you doing,” I growled as I looked at the girl in front of me, her eyes sparkling with excitement and mischief. I looked behind her and saw a rowing boat behind, the ropes looking like a tangled mess. “Umm, excuse are trying to steal that boat?”
