There's something to say about being out there on the water right before a wave hits. It's peaceful, and there's a special kind of silence to it. Everyone describes it differently, but to us...being out there where the smooth sea water brushes past our sun-kissed skin transports us to a new world. Some may even call this place home. The Elsewhere.

Shoreside
This is a story about life, finding oneself in unfamiliar territory, losing those we love, staying together with those we love, growing up, hardship, and above all else, finding a way through. Stay strong, dear reader, there may be rough water ahead. **** It is important to note that there is disturbing content in this story. I am not a woman, and I do not presume to know all the hardships a woman may face. I do not intend this story to take away from real stories, nor do I intend to make myself seem somehow righteous in telling of the hardships of others, even in a fictional sense. I only wish to acknowledge the cruelty in this world, and the reality of the suffering of those who suffer, who are hurt, who are victims.Complete
