The sun glistened across the sea, dotted with sparkles as though someone had sprinkled her with fairy dust. Few places can nourish and fulfill my soul, but she always did. I hoped once again she could work her magic. I felt my shoulders shift slightly, releasing some of the tension. I was depleted, drained and exhausted. The gentle lapping of the waves however did nothing to calm my inner self.I threw my towel and sparse belongings on the shimmering sand and stripped down to my swimsuit. I ran to embrace her and the delectable rush of the co...

The monotony of my life was beginning to grind. I looked around the dreary platform, the weather not helping my mood. The perpetual drizzle and grey skies were a norm these days and I longed for them to be an exception. When I was a child, I used to love rainy days, we would play board games and do puzzles then drive my mom crazy with our fighting!

“Mom, where do you think your passport is?” I shouted up to her, wondering why I did as my mother could not hear me talking even when I was sat next to her. I moved some more papers in the drawer that seemed to be breeding papers and items. Suddenly, I saw a photograph of a young man in a uniform. On the back was written “Ich liebe dich, Gerhard xx. 24.09.1943 xx”. I turned the photo over and noticed the German uniform. I remembered seeing this photo before when I was a teenager, snooping through the drawers. My mother had caught me and I ha...
