	OCEAN's Summer 2010 Writing Contest Winner: Ocean Rachel Stone I drift off to sleep and soon the sounds of crashing waves and laughing gulls are all around me. A cool breeze sweeps a strand of hair into my face as I stare out across the expanse of water. The sand is damp beneath my feet and the salty spray licks my toes. The beach is deserted and the ocean stretches as far as my eye can see. I am alone, surrounded by the crashing waves. Soon I am running. Running faster and faster along the seashore. The wind is whipping my face and a warm mist caresses my feet. I drop to the sand in exhaustion and lie with my feet at the edge of the waters. My body is filled with warmth as I stretch out, breathing deeply to calm my beating heart. The waves engulf my feet and slowly move up my legs as the tide begins its ascent towards the rocks beyond. My feet go numb from the constant icy chill of the waters but I continue to lie there motionless. Until the waters swallow me and I am just another wave drifting in the wind . . .
