New Beginnings

He woke up to the tangy scent of sea salt invading his senses. Blinking rapidly to clear tangled cobwebs from his eyes after his long sleep he sat and surveyed his surroundings.

The sun was rising; the sky painted in expressive strokes of reds, oranges and yellows, whilst the sun peeped shyly over the horizon. The sea lapped by his feet, kissing his bare toes before retreating in a rush. Gulls wheeled in the sky above him, while others sat and squabbled on the golden sand.

A child's shout carried on the breeze to the boy's ears and he smiled softly as he was reminded of his own childhood. The boy had lived by the sea for seven years before he and his family had moved away, but on the way to this new location a tragic incident had occurred. His parents had been killed by a drunken driver whilst he had escaped with a mere cut and bruise on his right cheek.

He had no relatives that he could reside with so a placement at the local orphanage had seemed the next best option. Now, at the age of eighteen the boy was free.

He frowned slightly, he had no recollection of how he came to be here, but as the sun rose higher in the sky he forgot about problems, life and merely waited, the time would come to move on. Sighing he lay back contentedly on the sand wondering what the future held.
