On the shore, a little girl in borrowed clothes stood, watching the waves in quiet awe, not running and playing, just soaking it in. Her eyes were bright, though her manner was quiet, subdued. She closed her eyes, breathed in the salty sea scent, trying to commit every sense to memory, then burst into a smile.
“I don’t remember the sea this clearly!”
Were they going to the beach? She, papa, and mama? Did she get there first and forget? Did she fall asleep in the car—
Oh. A small, lingering part of her realized this was a dream, maybe something’s gone wrong and that’s why she’s dreaming so intensely, but does it matter? Maybe she’s in Heaven and her papa and mama will join her later! She doesn’t feel scared at all and it’s been so long since she’s felt sun-warmed grains of sand under her feet or cool water or ate fruits that dripped with juice!
Sandals in hand, the girl happily played in the surf! The rest of the fresh fruits the kind people from the marketplace offered her were just a little way away, she was too busy splashing around!!
