Sitting on a sun-bleached beach, I scan the horizon for the indelible line between the sky and sea. The extent of how far I can go alone has finally crept up to me and out of the corner of my eye, I spot your sandcastle rising so triumphantly against the moon's persistent assault. It seems that everything would be better for both of us if we teamed together, so would you like to help me dig a tunnel from your castle to mine where we'll meet somewhere in the middle? We might miss each other at first under the ground, but as soon as our tender fingers push through into each other in the cool shade, we'll know that everything is OK. We can come back outside, and I'll scoop the sand into piles while you can pack it together for the front wall. Then, we'll retreat into our fortress and claw into the earth for foamy water and sit back as it feeds itself until we can both rest our feet in its chilly refuge. After our discovery has empowered us, we can defiantly dance in the surf, making the ground under each step dry for a brief second but a second nonetheless and when we've had our fun, we can go back to the place we've created together and hold each other for warmth into the night as we are gradually smoothed into the sand by morning.
