It sounds cliché but Tyson was my everything. He was as tall as a tree and whenever we walked together I felt like an ant next to a skyscraper.

Dome‚ I marveled at the spectacle of a mountain of pure granite‚ thousands of feet high‚ having been glacially cut in half to perfection.

Green grass stretches for miles‚ broken up around the edges with white fluffy sand that leads to the deep blue ocean. This island located in the middle of the world holds only one small‚ little house. The air was hot‚ the only relief was a light cool breeze that made the grass tickle her thigh as she observed the view in front of her.
