I was standing on the beach listening to the sound of the waves. I listened to the movers moving back and fourth from the house and the truck. I wondered if Mom was watching me through the window of our house.
I wanted to feel the water, test how it felt compared to the shower water in the apartment and the rain. It looked so blue and mysterious but I just couldn’t, Mom was pulling me back from all I wanted to do.
I took off my sandals, just one splash and I would go back inside. So, I stepped over to the water and let my feet touch it. I splashed around, the water was warm and calming. “Mira what did I tell you about the water?!” Mom yelled from the porch. “I’m fine Mom!” I yelled back. Then, I felt a cramp in my foot, I fell to the ground with the weird feeling.
”Mira!” Mom ran to my side and helped me up. What the heck was that? “I only touched it, how did that happen?” I asked.
“That doesn’t matter right now, you should come inside and get some ice for your foot.” Mom said.
