Morning Glory Knows No Night

Synopsis

I awoke to the cry of seagulls. Through the train window flooded with sunlight, I watched the train advance across the sea swollen from yesterday’s rain, sending up spray in its wake. The summer sun shone white, and the wake trailing behind the train was white as well. The sky was blue, indigo, cyan. Ahead, a peaceful remote island where seagulls gathered floated into view, impossibly green.

Is my heart soaring with excitement? Or am I crushed beneath anxiety? There is only one thing I know for certain: on that island, a life without night is about to begin. To remember the dreams of rainy nights from before. Morning Glory knows no night.
