Perhaps it was the wind causing small waves in the water below or how the sun began to set painting the sky with more colors than a rainbow but for the first time in what seemed like forever the world became truly beautiful.

A lone figure stood on the narrow bar watching as the ships pulled into their docks for the night. Lives passing by with no time to notice the life about to end. The time continued to pass as the phone in the mans pocket remained silent much like the rest of the night.

The boy's gaze fell away from the scenery to the phone booth at his feet.

I may not know you but you help make this world beautiful. All I ask is that you continue to do so even when you doubt it....Hello?"
