As I walk along the beach I see a lonely toy and a little girl playing in the sand so I take it over to her. "Here you go sweetie, this was over there." I bend down to her level.
"Oh thank you! I've been looking for it!" She's got sky blue eyes and blonde curly hair. "Wanna build sand castles with me?" I look around for a parent and spot a man walking towards us with a smile on his face.
"Umm." I think about it look back to the girl.
"Please!" He begs and the man reaches us. "Daddy! Look what this nice lady found." She hold the toy up.
"Wasn't that nice of her? We've been looking for this one." He's so sweet to her. He also has blue eyes but dark drown hair almost black really and olive skin.
"So will you play with me?" The little girl pleas and I look at her dad not wanting to impose and he gives me a little wink.
"Of course." I smile and sit down.
"I'm John by the way and this is Ava." He reaches out for me to shake his hand.
"Kirsten." I smile.

My head is throbbing I roll over and reach for, reach for a cold empty bed then everything floods back to me. I wished it was just a bad nightmare but it wasn't. I get out of bed and check my phone, there's a few missed calls from my mother but that's about it. I don't have the energy to call her back to I just shove it in the drawer and find the closet bottle. I take a big swig of the dark liquid then take a shower and get ready. I fill up a little flask and grab my eyes heading out for the day ready to write and work away these thoughts.
