The sun was setting, illuminating the coast with brilliant shades of orange and pink, casting warm shadows upon those dancing, making the most of what was left of the light of day. Laughing, chatting, music blaring, but somehow one could still hear the gentle splashes of waves as they met the shoreline. The salty smells of the ocean mingled with the dry scents of the open flame, setting the scene for another beautiful Miami night.
But of course, this is not where Eleni was. I mean, she could see the setting sun and feel the warmth of the salty breeze as it blew by, but she was lost somewhere in the streets leading up to the beach, and she knew it, which made her little detour all the more frustrating. "I knew I should have just had Lucie drop me off.." she sighed to herself, looking from one street sign to another. Although Eleni had gone to this beach every day for the last week for work, Lucie had always dropped her off and picked her up, plain and simple. She never thought to actually pay attention to the route from Lucie's place, but somewhere in her mind, Eleni thought that she would figure it out, "No big deal". Being alone in Miami at night with no clue as to where you are? Yeah, 'no big deal'.
Eleni didn't know any different. She'd heard stories about all the bad things that happen here, but how many of them were actually true? She knew that she should just call Lucie and ask for help, but that would mean admitting defeat. "Where is your sense of adventure, Eleni? What's the worst that could happen?" she thought to herself, replacing her fading smile with a brand new one.
She set off again down the main street towards the sand, being led only by the faint sound of music.
