Scarlet Oasis
RWDrabble 2.0.157 | University
The little scarlet cottage nestled against the beautiful sky, clinging to the cliff’s edge. Its windows gaze at the rolling ocean, shimmering like golden diamonds in the late afternoon sun.
It’s my haven against life’s storms and a paradise of joy that embraces the restless ocean. The ocean’s whisper against the headland’s eroded rocks creates a comforting echo that calms my wandering soul.
My name is Andre, and I’m a part-time online lecturer at a virtual learning university in the United Kingdom. I teach undergraduate philosophy and child development courses to education students.
Scarlet Cottage feels like it’s at the top of the world, and nature’s beauty is my creative palette. The mysteries of the ocean and skies are sources of inspiration that enable me to weave words for my mystery novels.
My scarlet oasis is my shield against life’s twists and turns. Nature’s love is my secret therapist, keeping me sane. Behind the cottage, Diane and I have a chicken coop and a vegetable garden that supplies our kitchen with fresh, healthy produce.
We live in harmony, enjoying our lives, ensuring they are filled with fresh air, relaxing, and energising nature walks. What more can we ask for?
