Nighttime was beginning to fall. Rays of brilliant sunshine peeked in from the entrance of their den. Already, they were being ushered to curl up and fall asleep. Except, he didn't want to. From his vantage point, he had seen how mesmerizing the beach was after the sun went down. He needed to investigate it but knew his parents wouldn't let him willingly go out alone yet. Biding his time as he pretended to fall asleep, it wasn't long before he opened his one yellow eye to glance around. Sound asleep was his family when Scald slipped out from beneath a sibling. Tender were his steps as he tiptoed outside onto the midnight sand. As soon as his bi-colored eyes caught sight of the dazzling spectacle before him, he was struck speechless. High above him, a full moon emblazoned the sky without a cloud in sight. Millions of stars twinkled in an array around it, making the night almost as bright as the day. Releasing the breath he didn't know he was holding, the boy looked down to the sand. Everywhere he looked, it glittered! "Whoa," he whispered as he continued to explore the beach laid out before him. |
