Who would’ve thought you needed someone older? From the experiences you had. Just didn’t feel the same as how you were with him. He was mature, calm, and cool as a cucumber. With an appearance that showed his experience in life. Making him more attractive than any of the guys you dated around your age. It was even the way he held you warmly in his embrace as tears were wiped. Making you think you needed some older.Just a little bit colder. Take the weight off of your shoulders.

*Author's note: I am working on this for NaNoWrimo. I'm attempting to get as much written as I can. I feel behind early in the month. I'm posting sections as I find myself taking a long pause. Some of the breaks are a little rough. I'm hoping I'll at least have most of this finished by the end of the month, I plan to submit it to a producer as a potential movie. I'd really appreciate critiques regarding the story line flow and character developement. Thank you for reading <3)

We spent the next hour or so dishing out soup to dozens of the ill-fated. I call it soup, but there wasn’t much substance to it, just broth with few shreds of chicken and an occasional noodle. It wasn’t much, but for some of these people, it might be what keeps them alive for a few more days.

I started NaNoWriMo this year with some really good intentions but I got stuck on the story concept. Life got in the way this past month due to unforeseen circumstances. I decided instead of fixating on my failed attempt, that I would still post it- unfinished and edited- here on Vocal.

Mark in the Sand. Content Warning.
The beach had always been Mark's favourite place to unwind and relax. Even when not travelling to a far-flung part of our green planet, he would take time out to drive to the coast and feel the sand between his toes. That soft, but grainy sensation gave him the most delightful dopamine hit and as he stepped closer to the water, and felt the soft, dry sand become moist, he enjoyed the feeling of his feet becoming encased in it, only for the water to splash some of it away.
