Sand island

Before the storm, the shore was a graceful arc of sand, glittering under the summer sun, a place for a serene ocean to lap. A fleeting flurry of sand waves rolled in with a soothing swish. Every few steps lay a shell, a treasure of the aquatic world just out of reach. The small, wet pebbles that lined the beach sparkled in the bright light of the day. I reached down to pick one up, running my finger over its smooth surface. It was curved perfectly, with no sharp edges or jagged bends. I swung my…

“Up, up,” My sister calls as she pats the brown leather seat of my mom’s car. My dog is coming with us to the beach, a rare occasion, for Guinness isn’t the most trained of dogs. We are going to the Nob, a secluded beach on the edge of Woods Hole, perfect for a morning trip and a private swim. As Guinness jumps onto the Captain’s chair, he rustles the rocks of our driveway, a new addition to our summer home. My brothers and sisters are already in the car, waiting with their bathing suits on, and…

He liked the little plan he had, Isaac slowly walked away from his house, moving towards the beach. He wanted to be completely quiet, not alerting anyone in the area. He looked back at his small turquoise house, before continuing on. Isaac looked at the houses in the neighborhood seeing, differences in the structures and the colors. It felt like each house had their own personality. Isaac liked that it was easy to tell the houses apart, while the houses in Vircorden town had very little…

and don’t kick me.” Raven, in all her hideous warty wonder, climbed onto Aragon’s back. Mason and I scramble up behind her. The burning sand quivered as the dragon picked his way to the top of the highest Plateau and stopped at the summit, which gave us an unrivaled view of the terrain. A patchwork of Barrel cactus speckled the sand and spread across sand dunes that rose away to meet lonely flat-topped mesa with steep sides, where the sun was casting its first long plum and russet shadows…

A detailed description of soil locations, textures and physio-chemical properties can be found in Sections 2.3.1(page 41) and 3.3.1(page 56). We selected four types of soils out of seven types of soils, namely MGA, KBA, TAA and DUA. Key soil characterisation of these four soils is summarised in Table 4.2. The reason why these four types of soils were chosen for this chapter was that they had distinct soil parameters in terms of total organic carbon (TOC), Fe oxide, Al oxide, pH which have been…

Small Moment Narrative By: Simona McDonald It had been a grey, gloomy September day from the moment the sun chose to rise. A faint wind flowed through our hair while a slight drizzle sprinkled down upon us. The lake’s chilly, dark green water came crashing down onto the beige concrete in heavy waves as we strolled along beside the water, taking in the breath-taking scenery. There had been a faint mist acting as a blanket covering the city of Chicago. Many friends and families were taking in…

adore trying to view and study these animals. In April of 2017, my family went on a cruise to various islands, one of them being St.Thomas. We had booked an excursion there, and it was to go snorkeling off the boat called the Dancing Dolphin.…

Natsukashii 懐 Walking along the beach, during recess hour, I would pick up seashells and set my eyes across the horizon, with no clue that I will be across the pacific ocean a few years later. My school Kinser Elementary resided next to the beach. Because of that, I would frequently wander and get in trouble, of course for leaving the boundaries of the playground. I was a curious child. Yearning for adventure, I have always desired to explore new places, travel the world, and had immense…

alarm is heard going off at first it’s a calm running music gradually building to the the loud sounds of a running waterfall set to gently wake you up. There are four large lumps in the room.The lumps looks as though they were oversized transverse sand dunes on three different what looks to be a lot like tables with sheets over them. No movement is made as the alarm plays on getting loud enough to be heard outside the room. All ranging from the ages 18 to 13yrs of age. Four brothers sleeping…
