Idea for a short story. The shore of a lake, a young girl who's spent her whole life beside it, a girl like you She loves the lake the way a seagull does, and she's happy and free as a seagull. Then a man comes along, sees her, and ruins her life because he has nothing better to do. Destroys her like this seagull here.
Anton ChekhovI kept thinking how marvellous it would be if I could somehow tear my heart, which felt so heavy, out of my chest.
