Infliction

I park my car at the beach and walk to where I think she headed to. There's huge rocks and boulders blocking the street lights and making the area darker. I climb onto the rocks by holding onto the surrounding ones as they are slippery due to the humidity. 


"Tess?!" I call out, hoping that she's not too far away and can hear me. And come back to me. 


I spot a figure sitting extremely close to the breaking waves and I slow down my steps as to not frighten her. She seems distant, like she couldn't give care in the world. I stand behind her and just look down at her, hoping that she'll notice my presence and say something. 


After a while of total silence, I squat to her level and touch her shoulder lightly. She lets out a scream and jumps forward and, in my attempts to catch her, I slip too. We both end up falling off the rock and landing face first into the wet beach sand with a grunt.
