<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">As I sat in front of my computer pen in my mouth and glasses on, I noticed there was a bunch of emails coming in. Maybe time to get into business - I thought. The long weekend was approaching, and my need for drive far to a magical place was taking form. Gary and I, both enjoyed traveling down south to explore the West Coast of California, take the dogs for a walk, Gary wind surfing. I always loved to take with me a sketch book and some art supplies for quick sketching of the beautiful scenery this side of the world had. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">It has been a year and 8 months since we last met. Then we both had to travel overseas, Gary to music gigs and myself to participate at art galleries to present my works of art. I was invited to participate, to which I could not denied. My works got featured in a very important magazine, offers started to pop up requesting more of my art pieces to be taking participation in more art galleries.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">Gary got some time off, and agreed to go on the next long weekend, just after his birthday. He loved my paintings as well, so I decided to paint about his favourite place - Carmel Beach - Carmel by-the-sea, his favourite beach, the wide expanse of sparkling white sand, the deep blue sea, and the windblown Monterey cypress trees give this beach a distinctive appearance that's unique to the Northern California coastline.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">His first time going to that beach got him mesmerized. Of course he says, you have to see the night sky, where the starry nights look like diamonds in the sky and the moon so clear and bright, it makes you think you are in one of those fantasy movies. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">Based on his comments and descriptions, I decided to put his thoughts on my canvas. I carefully packed the new paint and securely placed it at the back of his blue (same as his beautiful) eyes), FJ Cruiser. The dogs hopped in the blue two tone FJ Cruiser and voila,pp we were all on our way to that magical place.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">Gary loves to go camping, so he had customized the roof top of his FJ Cruiser to accommodate a camping tent. That became our 2nd house for our adventure trips. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">I'm Food? Yes fishing was good there, so I took part on the cooking. Got some extras for the dogs. Done.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">I carefully packed a red velvet cake- his fave and a candle for him to blow and make wishes before blowing the candle. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">We were still young, we both loved nature and scape from the busy chaotic world.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">When we arrived, a couple of hours before sunset, I could understand his mesmerizing comments. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">The view from here was mesmerizing, the sun, huge perfect round, full of life, slowly disappeared in the horizon, giving the moon and stars an opportunity to show off their beauty. The night was so clear, we could literally see the Milky Way. Every now and then, the scenery would get disturbed by a commercial flying plane or a shooting star. I closed my eyes and made a wish. I noticed Gary did too.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">I giggle.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">Time came to present dessert, and his birthday gift. I told him to cover his eyes, to what he followed. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">I said - ok open your eyes now.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">Surprise!</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">He looked surprised, his bright blue eyes opened </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">and looked at the paint and smiled and asked; have you been to this beach before?</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">I said no, this was my first time. I just did the paint from the mesmerizing descriptions you told me. Gary hugged me thanking me for the gift.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">Oh man he gives huge strong hugs.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">He said after we hugged- you know today is my birthday. Thanks for coming today and be a part of this wonderful trip. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">You're very welcome I responded. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">I'm glad you like it.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">There was a moment of peace. It seemed that the waves stopped waiting for the next move to do.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">We were used to travel together and share the same tent. Gary hugged me and said - you know, we have been traveling together many times. Which we enjoyed very much. Every time I was far on my trips I thought nothing but you. I noticed that there was something in you that made me miss you and wanting to see you more often. Many nights loosing my sleep made me missed you more. I realized I need you. My days and nights were not complete if I didn't see you. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">Gary says- I've got something for you from my last trip. Hope you enjoy it.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">This little box carefully wrapped caught my attention. The moon for some time kept shining for us, setting up a romantic environment. Gary goes; don't be shy, go ahead open it.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">To which I followed.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">I opened the little suspicious box, the moon seemed to bright at its most revealing the magic the suspicious gift had. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">It was a ring.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">I was shocked, Gary looked at me, waiting for an answer. I looked back at him, and said; yes of course.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">Gary hold my hand to put the ring on and kissed me. I thought of nothing, just wanted to enjoy that kiss I was many times expected from him. He stopped and looked at me directly into my eyes, like trying to find a reason why this was happening to him, just right now, at the beach with a beautiful view we could see from here, under a beautiful night sky, accompanied by a beautiful full moon, bright stars and soft waves breaking down when hit shore.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">The view from here was amazing, a starry night, a stunning moon and of course the lovely smile of the man I was to share the rest of my life with. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">At the end of the year the wedding was planned, at the beach were we met, under a mesmerizing black starry sky, where the mesmerizing view from here made two hearts stay together as one.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">Oh - I forgot to mention- our dogs Scout and Sally made a fantastic entrance. They got trained to bring the wedding rings to us. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">And they did a great job!</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">The sun was so nice on my skin. I could feel the hot rays beating down on my eyelids, the warmth relaxing and just right. In the background, the sounds of the waves crashing against the sand soothed me even more. Belinda Carlisle said Heaven is a place on earth, but I was yet to find a place quite like that which I could dream. Admittedly, it was a somewhat lucid dream, and I always came back to this beach. It was where I'd met him, all those years ago, before he'd decided he'd had enough of his current path and had decided to go abroad for a year. That was three years ago. Since then, I'd heard nothing from him, but the reception in Africa wasn't great. Assuming he was actually in Africa; the letters he sent each month were postmarked there, including some polaroids which showed him tanned and handsome among crowds of African kids. He was living his dream... and I was lucidly living mine.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">I often spent hours in my lucid dream state, because it meant I got an actual break from the world around me. While Tom was off in Africa, building houses and schools and water wells, I was working a bland and boring nine-to-five in Manchester, the concrete jungle where dreams are killed. I work in a bland and boring office, entirely grey (although I'm fairly sure the carpets were at one time cream, sometime in the seventies), my desk is bland and boring because any plants I have die due to the lack of sunlight. My computer is slow as shit because it's a stack from the early 00s, and still runs Windows 95 because they apparently can't make the existing software work with the newer versions of Windows. So, I spend half my time waiting for the frigging thing to load something that loads in seconds at home.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">My colleagues are as grey as the place itself. Half of them should retire, they're practically geriatric and it's obvious most of them don't want to be there. They're always complaining about their plans being scuppered by this wretched job, because they want to be off doing gardening or whatever it is the late-sixties do these days. Not that I have anything against the older folk, but working with them daily and having zero other option is so draining... and half of them don't even need the fucking money!</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">Sorry, I could go on all day about how much I hate the job I have.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">It's a family-run legal firm, and I run the accounts. You'd think, being a legal accountant, there would be other jobs in bigger firms that would pay better and have a younger average age, but you'd be wrong. Manchester's one of the few places I can afford to live. The salaries down London way aren't high enough to cover the cost of living, and I'm not about sharing a house with people I don't know. And I've come to realise during that job search that I actually lack updated skills most of the newer grads (or people who've worked somewhere with updated tech) actually possess. And I can't exactly go back to university to re-complete the degree I've already been awarded...</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">I digress ? I was on a beach, sunning myself in a lucid-dream state. It was heaven, waves, sun, heat, silence except for the sea... and then, in the distance, thunder clouds. I loved a good storm like the rest of them, but I didn't want a storm on my lovely beach. I opened my eyes and watched the clouds rolling in, crashing and banging, the sounds so loud they hurt my ears, yet so far away. I didn't understand it at all. I didn't like it, either. I focussed on my mantra when things started to go wrong.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">?On my own, pretending he's beside me,? I started to sing. ?All alone, I walk with him till morning?? I closed my eyes and sang a bit louder as the clouds started to roll away. ?Without him, I feel his arms around me, and when I lose my way I close my eyes? And he has found me.? The thunderclouds had gone, only the sounds of the sea, and some gulls.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">?Look at me, beautiful.? Tom's voice, soothing as ever. I opened my eyes, and met his green grey ones, sparkling? deep? I leaned in for a kiss, and got one. Deep, passionate? deep. Everything about us was deep. He broke the kiss, and gazed into my eyes a little bit. ?I miss you every day.?</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">?I miss you more.?</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">?I wish I could be there with you.?</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">?I wish you could, too??</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">?Why did you have to die??</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">?I didn't choose to, Mia. You know that.? He stroked my cheek, his eyes gentle. ?It doesn't change how much I love you. And how much I want you to stay safe.?</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">?You were my world.?</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">?And you were mine?? He ran his thumb over my lip. Our surroundings were a forest now, where we'd had our first proper date, and the kiss that had sealed us as a couple. ?But that doesn't mean I want you to give up your world for me. Go back out there, Mia. Find another love.?</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">?I can't,? I said quietly. ?You died with my heart.?</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">?Over here!? Tom shouted. I frowned.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">?What?? His voice sounded oddly distant. I didn't like it at all. ?Tom??</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">?I love you, Mia, but it's time to wake up.? He kissed me again deeply, and then kissed my forehead. ?Wake up.?</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">?I don't want to wake up!? Always the same, I wrapped my arms around his chest and clung to him, but I could already feel him slipping away as I woke up.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">My bedroom was pitch dark. For a moment, I thought I was blind, because of how thick the darkness was. I reached around for my phone, but my hand couldn't move. In fact, my whole body couldn't move. I was trapped. I started to panic, and it took a moment for me to realise that I wasn't blind; a piece of clothing was over my face, but I couldn't move to get it off.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">I stopped panicking, and took stock of the situation. I could hear, still, and every now and again, something tapped, like metal to glass. I was trapped. I tried to cry out, and my voice worked fine. And then?</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">Tac tac tac!</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">A knock on the window. ?Hello?!?</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">?IN HERE!? I bellowed, unsure of what parts of me were visible. ?IN HERE! I'M ALIVE!? I moved whatever part of me I could.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">?WE'VE A LIVE ONE IN HERE!? The window smashed, and someone climbed through. ?Hello?! Can you hear me?!?</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">?I'm trapped ? I can't see!?</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">Slowly but surely, someone lifted the heavy things off me, and I was freed. My leg was entirely dead. Someone pulled the cloth from my face. A man.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">?Jesus Christ, love ? how are you still alive?!?</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">?What?! What happened??</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">?Bombing.? I sat up, and pain shot through my hips. ?Woah, woah, lie down? the ambulances are coming, don't worry??</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">?What happened??</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">?The place got bombed? didn't you hear the sirens? There's one right outside your house!?</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">?I? I didn't? hear, why is my leg so painful?!? I shivered. Something was hurting me.</span></p>

It was a bloody, pulpy mess, the bones reduced to nothing from the hip joint down. My right leg was badly broken, but my left was irreparable. I was losing blood. A little too much blood. The man was explaining how we'd b</a>een bombed by some random force, but I wasn't listening to him. Tom had finally come back to me. Stood in the doorway.
