Enemy of the Triangle

Walking along the beach at two in the morning is the best way to clear a busy mind. I always liked to sit with my feet in the sand and listen to the waves. Breathing in the mist that brushed my cheeks. It's been a long week. I've been putting extra hours in at work. I've only had one day off and I got to enjoy it by cleaning up and cooking. My boyfriend, Corey, works with me in a small warehouse. He doesn't put as much time in as I do. trying to start a business with the desire to be rich. There's nothing wrong with that but it's no longer a want for him. He needs it. It's an ongoing argument. " I want to start a family. We aren't poor granted we aren't rich but we are comfortable. and we can start a family. we have the resources. The time and the energy. Don't you want that too?" "Yes, Mayris I want that but I want to get my business started. Have the money to give our child anything and everything they could want. Don't you want that for our child? Certainty that they will go to the best schools and all the food they could need?" " You speak as though we have nothing, are you serious Corey?". I stormed out needing to clear my mind. I stood up wanting to walk more of the beach. I've always loved the water. My Mother used to walk with me all the time telling me " The water holds on to all of your secrets Mayris. The sand can hold you when you feel you can't. The breeze will blow the bad energy out of you." So lost in thought I didn't see this large shape running to me. It hit me so hard I fell over. I started to panic. It's still dark out and nobody knows I'm here. A small scream left my mouth. I closed my eyes scared to see what hit me so hard. When a big tongue gave a lick on my face. A dog. I got up feeling slightly dumb. " My goodness pup. You scared the crap out of me. Where did you come from?". It sat down with a big grin on its face. Being closer to it and looking I could see it was the biggest golden retriever I've ever seen. It turned its head slightly to the side and lifted an ear like it heard something and turned and ran back the way it came. "Hey wait where are you going?".
