I walked out onto a stone patio. The moon lit enough of my surroundings that I could take it all in. Elaborate gardens on either side of me, an artful stone patio, and an enormous pool. But it was the view beyond it that had me moving forward. Beyond the immaculate grass lay a rocky shore and past that, a sea of dark, swirling water. Something about that ocean called to me. It was as if it were so similar to the darkness that lived in me. It was comforting somehow.
