Wrecked At Sea

It was good to be on board and onto the ocean again, my mind trying to remove the scar left on my heart in France. Passing through the English Channel, I could still feel a heaviness like a big stone in my belly, the dark sand bar, black and wet, reminiscent of what had recently transpired. My mind began to drift back to that rainy night when my honor was threatened. I began to shift my eyes skyward as I recalled his wicked charms. 

Never again, I vowed. No man would ever trick me again, leading me astray so easily.

      1. Usually rainy and/or stormy, although I have crossed in summer when it was warm and sunny. The channel has strong currents and how those migrants cram into tiny boats to cross it beggars belief. It is bad enough on a car ferry in bad weather. The White Cliffs of Dover are always a stirring sight ( for anyone who is English) whether leaving or coming home. ❌❤️❌

  6. Your narrat͏ive beaut͏ifully captures the ͏interplay between your personal journey and the powerful symbol͏ism of the ocean. It’s as ͏if the Engl͏ish Channel becomes a metaphor for your emot͏ional voyage, where scars and memor͏ies are as tang͏ible as the dark sand bar you descr͏ibe. The resolve you express at the end ͏is palpable, and ͏it’s clear that you’ve grown stronger through your exper͏iences. May your future journeys br͏ing you the peace and fulf͏illment you seek. 👍👌😊
