Adrift

CHAPTER IX

In moments of realization, You have to make a choice.

Either let regret consume you

Or rectify your mistake. The sun began to set in the distance, its shimmering orange rays disappearing over the horizon. As the night began to fall, Meredith was able to regain her identity, her realization and purpose in life. She was already beginning to stop contemplating her purpose in life, becoming more optimistic and looking on the brighter side of life. With the assistance from Derrek, she can now enjoy life and live to the fullest. She is no longer lost. No longer the grey, invisible self she used to be, not knowing anything about her past. The gap in her mind is filled. The leaf had led both Meredith and Derrek into meeting each other, and was discovering the connections that were hidden, oversaw the two on their whole journey. Guiding Derrek to find his lost relative, assisting him to give Meredith a life to live. The stars twinkle brightly in the darkness, the sky being as black as coal. The stars filled the darkness like white corn, like a sense of meaning and belonging in a sea of unknown. It was a vast ocean to bring the appreciation of home and the sense of a role in life. The sense of an identity. Meredith was given hope. She had a defined identity. She was no longer alone. She was no longer adrift.
