Her toes curled through the chilling sand as the wave retreated, and she gazed at the ocean in silence. “Will this work?” She beckoned the white noise in a whisper, with her eyes closed and fists clenched tightly.
A voice bellowed back: “She is mine too!” Suddenly, heat radiated through her body, bringing with it a sense of peace.
With the confirmation she needed, a new day had now begun. Only the waves still remember her footprints in the sand.

Jones V God, Def.
No one was surprised when Orion Jones filed a lawsuit against God in the Clay County Courthouse. Shook their head, yes, but not in surprise. As a lawyer, Orion Jones tended to pick up the quixotic cases. Meaning, he would have represented the windmills in seeking damages from their delusional assailant. He collected losses like stamps, but the poor and downtrodden still came to him for two reasons. One, he had once secured a $106,000,000.00 dollar settlement from the Benton Williams Coal Mines a few counties over. As a side hustle, B&W had begun storing dangerous chemicals and radioactive waste down some of their abandoned shafts. After three dogged years of investigation, affidavits, and threats against his life he brought the hammer down on the company and the local economy. Two, and more importantly, he believed in his clients. Even when he knew they were lying.
