Challenge 291: SAFE HARBOR

It’s been a long, dangerous voyage, through storms and rough waters, past obstacles and opponents (sea monsters? Enemy ships? Dimensional portals?). But finally, a familiar sight comes into view, and you know that the worst of the journey is past. You’ve reached a safe harbor. It doesn’t have to be a literal harbor, of course. It could be the final exit off the highway after a multi-week road trip from hell, or the first sign of familiar houses as you take a well-worn path home after too long away, or the sight of an old friend coming to greet you in a crowd of hostile strangers. The important part is that you know the worst is over; you’re safe now, or close enough. Write a story about a safe harbor (literal or metaphorical). BONUS GOAL: When The Gulls Call If your submission features seagulls, it will earn an extra point to be tallied in voting!
