Take a deep breath in.
Smell the misty sea air, like barnacles clinging to the side of a ship.
Taste the grit of the sand beneath your feet, compacting like metal in a machine.
Feel the nipping morning breeze, like crabs at your heels.
Listen to the sounds of the birds, singing their lungs out across the bay.

Look out to the horizon. Past the rising Sun. Further than the bobbing ships. Beyond the sea.
