Inbetween Shots – 04 – Into The Great Wide Ocean
It is bright and sunny day. The smallest of azure waves are rolling unto the pristine beach, wetting the white sands. No clouds obscure the blue sky, only the faintest wisps of white towards the horizon hint at something. On the other hand its wavy fluctuations may only be a fata morgana.
A large blanket lying under two sunshades is scatteredly filled with items of various kinds – sunblocker, an ice box, a few sodas glistening with cool drops of water. A watermelon and a stick are nearby, with a blindfold on top of the melon. The sunshades themselves are pastel blue and auburn red respectively, shadowing the beige blanket and keeping it cool. There are a few sandwiches on the box, some with a few bites taken out of.
Slightly shrieking noises can be heard over the sound of waves. It is not the shriek of terror or fright but unadulterated joy. No worries taint it. No sorrows burrow it.
Three pairs of footsteps, constantly intermingling, lead from the blanket to the spot of the beach where they're are swallowed by the waves. Only small indentations in wet sand hint at them ever been there.
The joyous sounds and splashing are made by three figures, barely recognizeable due to the glare of the sun on the waves and the distance. They seem to be a redhead, a bluehead and a blackhead. Latter probably a boy judging by its lack of upper apparel. It is hard to be sure though, all three of them are rather thin and still children, anyways.
An air-filled ball is jumping between them. Their game seems to be jumping wildly about all kinds of rules – sometimes volley ball, sometimes a soft variant of dodgeball, and intermixed with these the all-encompassing I-have-it-come-and-get-it-ball,
After all it is serene.
