Sometimes you just can’t take being the victim of human nature… I work in a grocery store and as jobs go it isn’t bad. But the customers view you as no better than an ugly dog. So my happiness comes with vacation.
This time I have decided to visit my cousin in Los Angeles. The nice thing is I can spend the day at the beach while she is at work. In the early morning you see the people setting up their spot to brown themselves for the day; hello skin cancer. The sound of the ocean rolling in is beautiful. In the distance I see a pier and head towards it.
When I found the pier I see that the underside is more like a cave. Mollusks cling to the posts and sand has been pushed up to the sides of the posts. A strange square stone lay perpendicular to the pier. I touched the stone was ice cold.
My cousin calls to see how my day is and during the conversation a woman asked me how to use the sea viewer. As I motion to her that I am on the phone she gets to close so I pushed her back. She shuttered and all of the color was pulled from her body into mine through my palm. It was as if I sucked the life out of her she stumbled towards me; I ran.
Witness descended upon me to find out what I had done to her. There were three and they were close. The largest man grabbed my arm. I reached to free my arm from him and the color or life was pulled into me. The next two reached the same fate. I felt stronger, healthier… alive.
