California Fire And Life

115

Jack sits in the darkness.

All but invisible against the bluff, he's waiting for there to be just enough light for him to see without being seen.

So he sits down and just watches the ocean.

Like he used to do as a kid.

Just sits at Dana Strand and does nothing.

The waves are silver under the full moon.

They fall on the beach with a sound like shhhhhhhh.

A Pacific lullaby.

Jack waits for the sun to come up.
