i wrote this today.............maybe its a sign that i havn't completely lost who i once was............YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The sun set and cast long shadows across the sand making the two children seem to tower over the empty space. The place they sat was laden with a tattered and faded pink bath towel, its fraying edges soaking in the soft waves that crashed and expanded the shoreline. From a distance they were twins. Identical softly curved shoulders with dirty blonde hair unevenly falling to the center of each of their pale backs. The beach was uncommonly quiet now, empty at around 7 pm. in the small cove. The orange glimmer reflecting on the water of the setting sun sank beneath the horizon.
The girls, now shrinking in the shadows, still didn't move as silence and darkness settled in. A breeze that would chill even MY frozen soul didn't cause a shiver in either of their frail bodies. I sat and studied them for hours it seemed. I was enchanted by their solitary beauty, each with a blue string top and black bottoms. Their feet lay in the waves as the water gently caressed each toe with sand.
There wasn't a sound heard over the lullaby of the waves as the moon shone through the almost opaque cloud-cover. The girls finally stood, revealing their true slender figures. Each at the same moment moving their legs and bending their arms, stretching and unfolding themselves like blankets that had been in a cedar chest all summer, creased and anxious to be free. Alas! They had finally shaken themselves from their statue-like state! They were more beautiful than anything I had ever seen.
They left what was left of the ancient towel and clasped eachothers hand. As they slowly strolled away from me down the beach, I could not help but follow them. The towel as my excuse, I rushed down the sandy dunes from where I had been spying the beautiful creatures. The girls froze as I thrashed my way down the beach, as if they had something to hide. They glanced back between their shoulders for just long enough for me to see the ruby red pupils of their soft almond shaped eyes.
I stopped dead in my tracks and fell to the ground, to alarmed to pull myself back to my feet, I layed there with my eyes staring straight into the sky until the sun shone from behind the dunes. And then I ran. I ran as far as I could go to try and forget what I had seen. To this day I still try to shake the thoughts from my lonely old brain, and as I forget every other thing I had ever known like my long dead dog's name or my favorite child play toy, I cannot lose the image of the two girls i saw that day. Pale and cold, deep red eyes, they will never leave my ever aging head until my heart stops and I lie six feet under.
