73 At the beach Mansoor Khan Leghari M2F5 The soles of your feet touch the gritty sand, feeling as rough as raw bark. A few more steps of this sweltering sand clutching onto your skin, and soon, a gush of water as chilly as snow crashes against you. One shall start to feel more comforted as they feel the water and the scorching heat of the sun hitting them forcefully. You look up, and see the sun shining as brightly as glitter. It stands high like a king, spread- ing its warmth to all the dwellers of Earth. The blue water flows onto your skin. Your feet suddenly feel a rough surface, feeling like sandpaper. As you reach down to grip it, your damp hair feels like ice rubbing against your scalp. Your fingers too, feel the sandy object, a seashell with a lined tessellation painted on its surface. As you hold the seashell captive in your hand, you notice a wave as large as a hill speeding towards you like a car. Your entire body is submerged in the dense water that came from that wave in a matter of seconds. The salty flavor of seawater makes its way onto the tip of your tongue. While this happens, the seashell imprisoned in your fist escapes and floats away to somewhere unknown. The wave has also pushed you much back. You take a few steps, leaving the water body and its violent waves behind. Your wet feet turn every grain of sand into sticky and moist soil as they cling on to them like magnets. The air smells fresh and damp. To your relief, you see a few showers installed, and the moist soil is soon plucked away from the skin of your feet. Your back relaxes on the mesh hammock, the air making it swing as slowly as a snail. The applied sunscreen feels velvety on your face as your eyes shut down in relaxation. The sooth- ing sound of waves crashing into sand particles and birds chirping enters your eardrums. The tranquility puts you into peaceful rest, making it difficult to not fall asleep as if in a bed of feathers. The moment feels as beautiful as paradise. Such a serene yet enjoyable moment will stick in your mind forever.
