Farewell
Teak loved the beach. Playing in the sand, getting sunburnt, boogie boarding on the waves, but this came to an end. Unfortunate events made Teak lose his love for the beach, even though he had once grown a deep attachment to it from childhood. Goodbye fond memories. For now all Teak saw was loss. Loss of his home, swept away by ocean waves, which left nothing behind but remnants of the structure. Nothing but loss, empty, nothingness now settled there and within Teaks heart. With nothing to stay for anymore and nothing else to lose, Teak decided to venture off. Exploring the world and finding a new place to call home. It probably wouldn’t be near an ocean.. atleast for awhile. Teak took to the plane and set off. As he looked down at his old home, or atleast where it used to be, he thought, will I ever find a place as special as this one? Beloved memories swarmed his mind again. The source of comfort, safety, and memories were now gone forever, but still remained internally. This is goodbye, he thought, but never forgotten.
