He sat alone near a crooked pier with a bucket in hand and the watchful eye of dark clouds above. His face was chiseled by the rough edges of bitter winters. The waters danced rhythmically under the tired moon. As he stretched, his right arm began to burn like there were red hot needles dancing on his skin. It was a too familiar pain and it was just the beginning. His left hand clutched his daughter's pendant which hung loosely around his neck. The physical pain was nothing compared to the emotional anguished that tore his insides out everytime he pictured his sweet girl.
