The scent of salt and seaweed filled the air as Isla walked along the beach. The waves crashed softly against the shore, a continuous rhythm that echoed in her chest. She had a sketchbook in her hand, and every so often she'd stop and draw something, capturing the shapes and colors of the sea. She was lost in the moment.

She got a message from the college she had attended some years ago. She had written an essay, and was sure that that was what the message was about. She felt not a bit of hurry to read it. The beauty of the water absorbed everything else. She turned back towards the waves, and continued on her way.
