As the sun started to set behind the mountains the glare was
cast right into the eyes of the children playing in the sand on the shore of
the lake. A woman with shoulder length, curly, strawberry blonde hair pushed
the torn screen door out of her way, and stepped on to the porch, crossing her
arms and smiling as she watched the children play. The aroma of burgers on the
grill filled the house and surrounding area, getting the kids attention.
Nothing needed to be said, as soon as the kids looked at their mother and she
gave them a slight nod they knew dinner was ready. Without hesitation they
dropped everything they were doing and sprinted to the house, throwing the
screen door out of their way, treating it like just another obstacle in the way
of them and their food. They tore through the house leaving a breeze in their
wake, but leaving everything undisturbed for the moment. They slid into their
chairs and immediately reached for the table where their juicy, mouthwatering
burgers awaited their final destination, the children’s stomachs. As the family
talked happily and ate their burgers, the sun slowly sank, and eventually was
engulfed by the horizon.
