Cold. Cold day, but not really. 60 degrees Fahrenheit. Windy. Cloudy. No jacket. Left in backpack. Left backpack with mom. Left mom to explore. Off the ground. Thalia's hair on cheek. Tickles. Laughs. Back on ground. Stumbles toward water. Water is cold. Scream. Not scared. Just happy. Happy and cold. Run back to Thalia. Cold.
Salt. Water is salty. Air is salty. Air stings eyes. Face in water. Water stings eyes. Hurts. Cries. Water bottle, fresh water on face. Tears are salty. New water is not. Thalia's soft jacket. Hugs. Kisses. Back to water. Mom's voice. Off the ground. Sea below. Hard plastic bangles. Hugs. Kisses. Sparkly necklace. Necklace cuts cheek. No tears. Tears are salty. Salt.
Rocks. Back on ground. No sand. Just rocks. Rocks are fun. Rocks have dirt underneath. Dirt tastes dirty. Dirt tastes salty. Salty like water. Rocks are pointy. Rocks in shoes. Shoes hurt. Take off shoes. Rocks fall out. Rocks fall like tears. Rocks.
Mom. No Thalia. Mom leaves backpack. Hugs. Mom runs away. Can't catch up. Falls into rocks. Rocks are pointy. Cry. Tears are salty. No tickles. No fresh water. No Mom. Dark. Cold. Salt. Rocks. Alone.
