Harvest Moon: The Search for Salvation

Prologue

It was a beautiful day in the city of New York. Birds were singing loudly. A parade was going down Main Street. It was a warm seventy-eight degrees outside. For the men and women who didn't have air conditioners, it was hotter.

On the beach, where the sea air rushed in and cooled it down substantially, a single girl washed up on the shore.

She lay on the sand for hours until an middle-aged woman noticed her and rushed over to the unconscious girl.

"Hello?" she called. The girl didn't respond. She bent down to check the girls pulse. It was faint but she would live.

The woman turned the girl over, onto her back, so that she could check the girl's breathing. She was breathing hoarsely but she would be fine with some rest.

The older woman inspected the girl. She had a substantially sized bump on her forehead. Blood oozed from a cut at the tip of the lump. "That's going to leave a scar;" the woman said quietly. "Probably a concussion too." she finished.

The unconscious girl was actually quite beautiful. With the soft face and the full figure that she had, any man would drool at the sight of this woman. Her hair was a beautiful shade of brown with blonde bangs that looked to be natural.

"She looks so familiar… so very…" Recognition flashed across the woman's face. "Oh, God. She's… my niece!"
