for Sammi’s Weekend Writing Prompt where the given word is Haven.
Ten years ago, a vicious storm chased some fishing boats back to their haven.
All but one.
Every day since she’s watched the fishermen dock. She’s certain he’ll return. One day. Soon.
Well done in so few words! This seems a type of obsession, and pretty hard to cure after ten years.
