Ocean


Brendan Chase had finally bought his house by the ocean. The walls were the color of sea foam. The blue and white colors added to the effect and the floor was the color of sand. He stepped outside the house and removed his shoes. The water skimmed his feet and ankles for a while before one of his staff walked up to him. "Sir, you're in the middle of an exposed area and not moving."

Brendan sighed and followed them back in. It didn't matter, though. He was close to his wife. Her ashes had been scattered in the ocean.
