When her father died, Lucy went back to beach from when she was little. She sat on the sand and stared at the cloudless orange red sunset. The waves crashed agaisn't the shore, dragging sand back into the endless ocean. At 18 years old, she had lost both her parents. She had no other family members left. Her only cousin Michelle died shortly after her mom. Lucy stopped going to Magnolia University after her father passed. She as only there for a month anyway. She lost her job and was so behind on rent, the owner was about to kick her out. Life was falling apart. She felt her tears hit the sand. The memories of happiness flooded her in pain. She couldn't stand the sight of this anymore. The sunset, the sand, the ocean. It reminded her of them. She couldn't take it. So she left.

And never returned to the beach.
