Twentynine

The water burned the inside of her nose, into her throat, and she coughed the way an emphysemic coughs. An epic, earthshaking cough.

She struggled onto the beach, and made deliberate and exaggerated footprints in the sand. And she laughed the way a lover laughs. The kind of laugh that creates worlds.
