Stan rocked back and forth on the old swing, a board with chains, brought his mind to the 1960s when he was in love with Claire. First love for both of them and continued till college days when they were separated by distance. He hadn’t seen Claire for years, but swinging here on “their spot”, nostalgia overcame him.
Stan turned to his left and there she was, the perfect vision he always remembered. Her bright eyes and flowing curls exactly as he first saw her years ago. Claire didn’t answer as he questioned her sudden appearance. She had passed away from a car accident age 32. Such a waste he thought at the time and felt sorrow for her small family. When a tear started to form, he glanced at the ocean and then back to her and of course she was gone.
