The sea

Joy stood on a bluff overlooking the sea. She came here because it was where she went when chaos entered her life. Seagulls screamed above her, and the waves lapped at the sand. Joy wondered how it could be so peaceful here when she was so unhappy. The wind dried her tear-stained cheeks and whipped her dark hair around. It snatched the letter from her hand and chased it down the sand dune. Joy calmly watched it go; making no move to recover it. She didn't care, since getting back the letter wouldn't bring back Thomas. He was gone forever.
