by the shoreline.

wistful, she stepped into the piercing cold sea by the shoreline, 

draped in the serene ambiance of the dawning day, 

as overcast clouds hung heavy over the chimes of seagulls, 

circulating around the crunchy sand and among the softly crashing waves.

the sky enveloped the world

the world enveloped her heart, mind, and soul.

each second, the faintest droplet of rain would cascade down, lightly caressing her shoulder.

the unsaturated, dark, aromatic air draped heavy over her shoulders, digging her further into the sand.

slowly, it grows deeper, overlapping, again and again, whilst echoes of the past hum of conversations contained with fake voices and laughter.

the airy clouds seemingly falling further down to the ground,

crushing her.

how is one to escape when this deep in?
