Pause: Would you watch this movie?


Sam feels the softest ripple trickle through his toes and on back into the ocean. He looks at the knife that lay next to him, unbloodied and sinking under the waning pressure of waves. He lets the calm sea breeze overtake him. There would be no more thoughts. No more sunken hopes of being normal. No more hurting words. No more clouds over his fragile mind. Evermore a new light.

Sam closes his eyes and breathes in deeply. He opens them to the morning sun, slowly warming his skin and laying a shimmering path atop the vast expanse just ahead of him. She reaches for his hand. Sam grabs hold and smiles. The kind that holds tight to a face and never lets up. He turns. To look into the guiding light of her eyes. To look at the girl who saved him.
