Waveborn: Chapter One

One Ocean Boulevard, which runs parallel to the ten miles of ocean-side property along the length of the city, was home to many resorts, restaurants, and the infamous SkyWheel, offering tourists and residents alike an enormous view of the sea from high in the air. But Ocean Boulevard wasn’t just home to these sites; it was also home to a three-bedroom beach house hidden in between the large skyscrapers on either side of it. There, at 305 South Ocean Boulevard, sat my new home, with its blue-green shutters sitting stark against the tan siding along the exterior. This was my home now, complete with half an acre of lush grass and a wooden gate that led straight to the powdery white sand overlooking the sea.
