JELLYFISH SCARS
Of all the scents in the world, there is not another scent that compares to that of the ocean. Nothing is greater than waking up to that aroma, which revitalizes all senses from the drowsy state of slumber. The plan today, is the same as yesterday. Running along the beach for a while, I then take a nice swim in the ocean to the big red buoy. Swimming. If there were one thing I could do in my life before I died, it would be to swim in the ocean.

Running from the house to the shore, I am anxious to swim tonight. After all, it is a special day. My speed is slowed down grudgingly when reaching the sand, but still I am determined to dive into the water and swim for hours. The first wave that hits is the most chilling and revitalizing feeling ever. If only the world was like an ocean; silent, clear, and beautiful. With every stroke and kick, I propel myself towards the buoy. All the memories of my family and life run through my head, giving me sharp little tingles from my emotions down to
