Story: Mariana had grown up in the coastal town of Asher Bay, where the rhythm of the waves matched the cadence of her daily life. A brunette with a kind soul and an adventurous spirit, she found joy in the simple pleasures of life. From a young age, Mariana had a deep love for the ocean, and swimming became her sanctuary, a place where worries melted away with each stroke.

On any given day, Mariana could be found at the local pool, moving effortlessly from one end to the other, the sound of the water lapping softly against the edges providing her with a sense of calm. Her routine was incomplete without the melodies of Taylor Swift, whose songs resonated deeply within her. Evening swims often included Taylor's hits playing in her earphones, echoing through the quiet of the dusk-draped pool.

Despite her typically upbeat and cheerful nature, Mariana had a few fears. The thought of clowns always sent shivers down her spine, their painted smiles unsettling. It wasn't just their appearance; something about their unpredictability made her uneasy. And screams, whether from excitement or fright, were wholly unwelcome. The sharp burst of sound twisted her insides, bringing back fragmented memories of a childhood birthday party gone terribly wrong—a particularly memorable clown incident that still haunted her dreams.

On the evening of the town's annual summer festival, Mariana mustered the courage to attend, drawn by the promise of music under the stars and community cheer. She carefully avoided the east side of the park where the circus tent stood, knowing it would be filled with the very things she sought to escape.

As the night fell, twinkling lights adorned the trees, casting soft glows across the cheerful faces of festival-goers. Taylor Swift's 'Shake It Off' began to play, and Mariana felt herself lighten, her feet tapping to the infectious beat as she wandered through the crowds.

Suddenly, a shrill scream cut through the air, freezing her in place. Her heart raced, eyes darting as she tried to pinpoint the source. Someone had stumbled into the path of an oncoming performer—a clown, baked into their act and oblivious to the panic their presence caused. Mariana’s breath hitched as childhood memories flared, threatening to overwhelm her.

Taking a deep breath, she closed her eyes and allowed Taylor's music to ground her, the comforting lyrics creating a barrier between her and the chaos. A gentle hand tapped her shoulder, drawing her attention away from her thoughts. It was Mia, a friend from the swim club, offering a warm smile.

"Hey, are you alright? Want to go for a walk?" Mia asked, sensing Mariana's unease.

Grateful, Mariana nodded, and together they strolled towards the quiet embrace of the nearby shoreline. The sounds of the festival faded, replaced by the whispers of waves lapping against the sand. With each step, her heart slowed, the serenity of the ocean enveloping her like an old friend.

As they walked, Taylor’s soft ballads playing softly from Mia's phone, Mariana felt the tension slip away. The night sky stretched infinitely above, the moonlight dancing on water, and she knew she was exactly where she needed to be—far away from clowns and screams, immersed in the calming embrace of the night.

And so, beneath the vast expanse of the stars with her friend by her side and Taylor Swift's music weaving magic in the background, Mariana found peace. Here, on the cusp of land and sea, she was home.
