Unforgettable – Flash Fiction

Unforgettable

In the warm morning air I walked along the beach. My footsteps the only ones visible after the previous night’s storm. Kicking through seaweed and the empty shells of horseshoe crabs I let my mind wander back to you. It was here we built our love on a foundation of sand, ignoring the risks. We’d lay in sunshine as it darkened our skin and tingled our noses. At sunset, when night devoured the day, we made love under a moonlit, starry sky. Our promises were made to be broken. Time stood still as we constructed sandcastles dedicated to a summer love that neither of us wanted to end. Inevitably it did and we went our separate ways.

So long ago but in space in time I sit thousands of feet above the sea and I am still able to conjure an image of you.

    1. Hi Kathy, I actually grew up in England, so I completely understand. Chilly weather, lots of rain and yes, very different crabs! I live in Florida now, so things so much warmer and a little more exotic. ☺️ When I first saw a horseshoe crab shell on the beach I had no idea what it was. It was such an unusual shape and quite large. I had to go and investigate and found out it was a horseshoe crab. Who knew? Lol. Thanks for stopping by. We ☺️💕
