A Year in June: Chapter 18


Mina stood at a broken breakwater as she watched the sun set. She hadn’t eaten dinner in days, maybe weeks. Nothing seemed appetizing. Only the lingering smell of June’s curry when she got home stirred her stomach on occasion from apathy. She frowned when she thought about how often she smelled curry and how June probably did not have enough ingredients make healthy meals. She really ought to go out and do some shopping. She had perhaps an hour before the grocery stores closed.
            The sun had set and the moon rose long before Mina could stir herself and lithely come down from the broken pieces of wall that once separated the land from the sea.
