He looked down the lit walkway. Beyond... Nothing. Night. Endless darkness. It made him introspective, this walkway into the endless nothing. He thought about his friends, his family, those he loved and who loved him. His enemies, those he hated, those who had hated him. He thought about stepping off and falling into eternity, disappearing. With a soft smile, he decided to turn his back, and walk back into the light.

I had the opportunity to stay at a friend's beach house this summer. The view during sunset was absolutely spectacular, with the sun setting across a wide marshy body of water, and an evening thunderstorm following it up.
