Dancing by the ocean, she finally felt like herself again. She took a deep breath, smelling the fresh air. It has been so long since she had been able to have the pleasure of her own company, no tasks that needed to be done, no stress of life. She cherished it while she could. Today, she was free. Free to be happy. Nowhere to be, nothing to do, not a single bad thing to be scared of. Today, she would simply exist. Taking in every moment. Living in the present. It would be the last day she could do that, the last day before all hell breaks loose. The last few hours before they discover what she did.
About “Dancing By The Ocean”:
I’ve been getting more into writing short stories for two reasons. One, it helps me with my writing. It’s like sharpening a knife. I get to practice and consequently better my writing skills. Which I need for my book. Not the one coming out this year. The other one. And two, Kevin keeps posting images that inspire me to write murderous (alleged murder in today’s case lol) tales with beautiful women as antagonists. The image above is one of the many amazing images he shared on his blog post and it inspired this short story. As soon as I saw it, I knew I wanted to use it. So shoutout to him, do check out his awesome blog for more!
This story in particular is inspired by my love for murder mystery shows and a conversation I had with a friend from Canada today. We talked about how being an adult is exhausting and it would be nice to have just one day off with no worries. So, I sort of put that together with a more sinister ending. Hope you enjoyed it!
PS. I had to add the image on the post and not as a cover image because the last time I did that, the Reader cut the image and all you could see was her very curvy chest lol. Although that may actually be a good strategy to get more people to click on the post. But I don’t know how many would bother to read it lol.
