Siren Song
For #7: The sea.
--
There was a crash.
…
She didn't know how long she had been standing there. Time just seemed to stop as she listened. The waves would crash against the rocks, foam up the beach, and descend back again for another wave. Gulls would call off in the distance, mingling with the songs of other sea birds and the sea itself.
…
There was a cry.
…
Time seemed like a far off illusion on the beach. While she was aware of it passing, it just seemed so far away. She felt herself slipping with the tides. The water pooled around her feet, tickling her toes until it fell back again. It was teasing her, just like time. It tempted her to slip away. It begged her to step in and fall away. To wade in the tides, to crash and cry until there was silence and acceptance. Until time itself stopped for her.
…
There was no way Toph was getting in the water.

Without a doubt my favorite out of all written so far. I hope I got the emotions write, but I think I may have left it feeling too poetic, and not in the good way. Thanks for the reviews! I hope you got swept away. Drop a line!
