I laugh at loud at being so silly.
I walk to the end of the beach access ramp, to where there
are stairs going downwards to the sands. I glance up at the sky - which is
literally covered in bright stars, like millions of shining diamonds and sigh.
Looking at stars this beautiful makes me believe in a creator. There is
absolutely no way all this beauty came out of an accident. I lean against the
railing and stuff my hands in my pockets, craning my neck to get a proper view
of the brilliance.
"It's gorgeous, isn't it?"
I jump and turn swiftly towards the voice. A dark figure
stands at the bottom of the stairs where I just came from. "It makes you
think about what's really out there, doesn't it?"
I swallow to clear my throat before I say, "Urm, yeah,
it does." I stand there awkwardly for a second, my heart pounding harshly.
The figure begins coming closer, climbing the stairs as he
says, "Now, why would a pretty girl like you be out on a cold, windy night
like this?"
I take a few steps back, until my right heel is off of the
stairs, almost making me fall. "Just getting some air, my parents should
be looking for me by now. I told them I would be back in five minutes."
Lie. I haven't even told my parents I went out. They still
think I’m in my bedroom, reading my one of many books that I bought with my
birthday money I received last week. I
start to walk forward, getting a really freaky vibe from the person. I pass
him, keeping my eyes on my footing so that I don't trip on the uneven sand
that’s covering the access.
