Allison's Vacation

By Charliy NashPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

Oscillation. Such a complex word for such a simple action. Allison continued to watch the swinging weight trace intricate patterns in the sand.

She glanced at her watch. Thirty-five minutes! She’d been watching it for thirty-five minutes! This is not how she’d planned to spend her much needed vacation time. She had a whole list of things to see, places to explore, restaurants to -

She noticed that the shape and size of the shadow would change as the weight came towards her and receded. And a subtle change in the pattern.

This.

This was what she needed.
