Where The Sky Meets The Ocean Novels & Stories

For a few seconds, I simply blinked, trying to wake up properly. Then I noticed the soft orange glow filling the room. My gaze shifted toward the giant window. I sat upright immediately. “Zephyr…” Outside, the horizon had transformed. Bands of gold, pink, and lavender stretched across the sky. The sun was beginning to rise from the ocean, painting a brilliant path of light across the water. It was breathtaking. Without thinking, I threw off the blankets and hurried toward the balcony. The moment I stepped outside, cool sea air rushed around me. My hair lifted in the breeze as the deep horn of the Ocean Majesty echoed across the water, announcing the beginning of the voyage.

The horizon stretched endlessly before us, devoid of landmarks or islands that could anchor me to familiarity and would not help guide me back if I did manage to escape. For what felt like an eternity, I absorbed the beauty and mystery of the ocean, hoping it would reveal the secrets of our impending destination. The rhythmic lapping of the waves against the hull created a soothing melody, while the cool breeze carried the salty scent of the sea, wrapping around me. The night sky twinkled above, a celestial map that seemed to beckon us forward into the unknown.

She narrowed her eyes in nervousness with a shy smile on her lips. Moon: It's like these clothes are made for you. Ocean: What do you mean? Moon: I mean you look beautiful in my clothes. Ocean blushed even more and Moon chuckled. Ocean: I need to get back, uncle Jack must be worried about me. Moon: Hey! When will we meet again? Ocean: Monday, at school. Bye Moon Moon: Bye Ocean. Take care of yourself.

Metis handed over her phone, and there was a picture of a picture on the screen. "She drew this?" Erebus asked in awe as he staring at that picture. It was a picture of the ocean. The whole picture was blue, yet the light, foggy blue of the sky and the dark, heavy blue of the water gave the whole painting a low gravity, as if the ocean is with the weight of the whole world while the sky was a feather of dream, floating above.

The weather at the beach pierced through my skin, quarrelling of all places in the world. I sat engrossed as I allowed the foamy mist from the rampant ocean sprayed my face lightly as thought it was the touch of a feather. Off in the distance, I could see the sun which begun to set in a sleepy unhurried fashion. It was the most beautiful sight I have ever seen. The colors swiveled together in a muddled mass across the sky. Crash! Flash! The sky turned wild.

“Hmm?” Jake clapped his hand twice. The wall rolled up slowly, turning into a ceiling-high wall made of glass. The horizon in front of us made my jaw drop to the carpet. Starry skies meet the ocean from a distance. No presence of the moon, yet the dusk is a sight I’ve always admired. The view was breathtaking, and I was hoping I could freeze this moment, stay here with Jake for a long while. “It’s beautiful, Jake.” I set my hand on top of his, while he pulled me closer to his body.

He ran his hands through the grass once more, and turned his head to the right, off towards the endless vastness of the royal blue ocean. Red_Two knew that the horizon was only eleven miles away, but that crystal mirror seemed so much larger. It was boundless, and immeasurable, and perfect, bringing tears to his eyes. He had never seen the ocean before, and from this view, from high above, on a cliffside, it looked like an image from a fantasy story. He felt so small, surrounded by colour, and warmth, like he was languishing on one of those clouds, near the sun and the heavens.

I opened my mouth to speak, but he shook his head and nodded forwards, nudging me to look as we reached the slope. The field dropped away into a cliff, made of terracotta red clay and falling at broken edges down to another ledge, about halfway down. Below that, the open plain stretched out to the coast, where the stars sparkled on the sea. The night blurred into the ocean, dark upon dark, stars upon stars, and it was beautiful. “Sit with me,” Skye said, suddenly shy, suddenly bashful. I squeezed his hand, as tight as I could without hurting him, and he pulled me down on top of him. I squealed with laughter, and we sat on the damp grass together.

The ocean spread vastly around the yacht in all directions. The horizon line turned dark blue as they sailed away from Glaham. The sky weaved with the water in perfect harmony. There were little to no clouds in the sky. It had been raining cats and dogs the past few days. She appreciated the sun today.

Nothing can be achieved by waiting for Beth to be revived, so I stumble towards the hatch separating the cryonic area from the bridge and press the auto control. On the flight deck, warning lights flash a kaleidoscope of colors across every screen. Monitors stream data from the ship sensors as Ingoran, our pilot, switches view constantly. “What’s going on?” I yell above the sound of the alarms. Ingoran ignores my question. “Look!” Judah standing beside Peter, shouts. The main screen displays a tsunami of cosmic projectiles hurtling towards us. An asteroid storm stretches into deep space as far as the eye can see. I realize that somewhere back in time, a giant supernova must have exploded.
