The New Beginning

 I walked swiftly across the rocky shore, even my tippy toes echoed through the bitter air of the hollow cave, as I was waiting for the storm to abate. The cold rocks splintered my warm hands as I placed them on top of them, trembling with fear. The shore swept and swirled in the soft sand, dragging it to the bottom of the ocean. When the storm clouds scattered away like frightened mice I slipped back onto the remains of the sand. Shells poked out of the sand, even clams! I spotted an open one. Inside something glittered, something round. A pearl! I tucked the pearl into my pocket and set off towards the rising sun, ready for an adventure.
