Oh how much Shoko Okazaki hated summer. It usually put her in a horrible mood. This week, she has been staying in her air conditioned room but usually getting some fresh air at evening after dinner. On Thursday evening, it had been sunny which made the sunset look just that more pretty. The sky was filled with a variety of colors that were simply breath taking. Reds, oranges, pinks, blues.
Shoko watched this display right at the edge of the ocean with her butt on dry land but her feet right where the waves reached. Each time the water came in, it left sand slowly burying them. It was refreshing. She wore a yellow tank top and jean shorts. Her flip flops, she took off and placed them beside her on dry sand. She sucked on a blue popcicle she got from the cafe as she watched the show of nature. Her snack had the look of ice that began to melt then quickly re-froze. Shoko hardly ever had problems eating ice cream. She only had a problem if she didn't have it particularly near her for a while.
While her mouth looked rather blue, Shoko seemed practically mystified by the sunset. She wondered what it is life of the races who can't be out during this time. Like vampires. Do they remember their last sunset or sunrise that they enjoyed. She imagined the thought of sunrise frightened vampires greatly. Maybe she should ask a vampire the next time she'd get talking to one.
Then she thought of all the beautiful sunsets she saw before. She'd have to say the most beautiful ones tend to be in late summer and early fall. The leaves in the fall made the sunset always seem to glow with a haunting orange. It was like the countryside was lit on fire. While Shoko watched the show, she seemed to be oblivious to everything around her. Nope, she just continued to suck her treat calmly as she took in the slightly cool breeze that slipped off the ocean.
