We fade in on a girl, illuminated only
by a broken-open moon. She sits
alone on a beach with her fingers
wrapped around a pen, her toes
in sand. The ocean is our only sound
-track. She leans her head back
and lets out her first scribbled scream.
She hopes she’s about to be heard.
And seen.

My attempt for NaPoWriMo, day 14.
Oh, I love this so much! There’s something about writing at the ocean…I always feel the words as screams.
Thank you so much, Bridgette.
This is really beautiful.

Thank you. The prompt was a fun challenge, but I didn’t have enough time yesterday to give it the attention due. I wanted to put it in screenwriting format and everything, but that just didn’t happen.
