There’s a dragon in the sea. Can’t you see him?”
The waves brush against the stone steps, smothering the bottom
two until they can’t be seen anymore as the local crazy man walks past,
muttering to himself about sea dragons and magic. The cold, beautiful
coastline of Silloth stretches out for miles, wrapping around a small corner
of England, but it feels like it’s a million worlds apart from the rest of the
busy world. It certainly is in the middle of nowhere, for me at least. The sky
fills with bright, vibrant oranges and yellows that reflect across the calm
blue sea as the sun sets. This is my favourite part of the day, but it fails to
make me smile, to make me feel less lost and alone today. I wrap my tanned
arms around my short legs, breathing in the familiar sea air, and try to
forget today. It doesn’t work.

“Ellelin!”
Fuck. I knew hiding here wasn’t a good idea, as he knows it’s my secret
spot, away from the visiting tourists. This is the end of the promenade,
where it meets the old lighthouse. I climb to my feet, just as my boyfriend
—no, ex-boyfriend as of half an hour ago—stumbles to a stop in front of
me, sand spraying onto my worn boots. He’s handsome, so my grandmother
says, six foot tall with blond hair and honey brown eyes. She also told me
the pretty ones always, always fuck up in the end.
She was right.
“I can explain. If you’ll just listen—”
I chuckle, wiping a stray violet lock of my hair out of my eyes. Dying my
black hair violet was one of the only things I’ve done for myself in a long
time, and I love the colour. Finley said he preferred it black. “Explain what,
exactly, Finley? You want to explain how you slept with a friend of mine? I
don’t think that needs to be explained. We’re over.”
I turn around and leave. I’m done with him, and this damn town I’ve been
trapped in since I was six and my grandmother took me in. The sad truth is
this is the only place I have ever known, and I don’t have any friends except
for my ex-boyfriend and my friend who he slept with. I don’t have anyone
but my grandmother, and something about that fact makes me sad. I can’t
remember my life before I was six, and my grandmother won’t tell me
anything about where I lived before that. I only know that my parents died
tragically after travelling for years but that my mum was born here, in
Silloth. I’ve been stuck here with my grandmother, my only remaining
family, and I’ve never left.
School finishes soon, only three days away from graduating, and then I can
leave. I can get out of this small town, see what the world has to offer me.
