Seduction of Summer
Prologue: The Seduction of Summer
The summer was drawing to an end. I could feel it deep within me. As I felt thelast rays of sunlight filter across my face, I looked up to see that the sun had moved momentarily behind clouds in the sky. A brilliant sunset had begun forming, full of pinks, purples, oranges and blues.
A cool breeze blew around me, my loose hair flying in the soft wind, forcing me to pull my jumper closer around me and hug it tight. If anything, the cool weather was truly signaling the end of summer. Cracks of thunder rang in my ears, as my eyes whipped to the horizon to witness dark storm clouds moving towards the bay.
Tracing lines in the soft smooth sand inattentively with my fingers, I hoped for a final summer storm. Hard rainand strong winds would be nothing compared to how much I had hurt my own life during the past few weeks.
No force of nature could hurt me more than I'd already hurt myself.
Staring into the distance, I thought about the mistakes I had made this summer that had led me down this path of destruction. Now I wasn't sure who in my life could still stand to be around me. Who would still be brave enough to spend time with me, or even look at me.
In the past, I wasn't rash or quick to act, but the aching boredom I had felt at the beginning of summer had begun everything.
And in a few short weeks, that now felt as if they were a lifetime ago, I had utterly changed my life.
Trying to pinpoint an exact moment when this started, when the downfall had begin, the storm clouds rolled closer and closer, but I just sat there, reliving moments over the summer that had caused the pain.
The seduction of summer was real.
Summer had seduced me.
I was so focused on my own thoughts; I didn't hear footsteps closing in towards me...
