Sand (drabble) - 100 words of day at the beach

[scribblemyname]

For origfic bingo:

The sand got stuck between her fingers and toes. Skylight studied the way it looked, barely paler than her skin, and let herself feel the grit.

She remembered still the grit between her teeth, that got stuck in her eyes, when her braid came loose from how she’d wrapped it and whipped into her face when the desert winds blew fierce out on a harsher ocean of sand. She’d been a fighter than, if little more than a child.

She waded out from under memory and stood on the front of an ocean of water instead.

New memories. Better ones.
