Summary: Looking a footprints in the sand.
Author's Note: First, sorry this is late, I got sick. Second, I have to say that the idea for this came partly from the episode of JAG 'We the People'. And no it doesn't really have anything to do with JAG. Also I still don't have a tag.
The footprints tell the story. They pepper the sandy beach in intricate patterns. The smaller footprints weave, zigzag, and backtrack, full of energy. The other set of footprints are evenly spaced and follow a relatively straight path.
Sometimes the first set is scuffed and occasionally there is a hand or knee print among them. At these points the second set would always angle towards and mingle with the first.
Suddenly the path comes to an abrupt end, just under a rocky overhang. The footprint makers have disappeared and the sandy story is all that’s left to show they were here.
