space oddity - 2015 remastered

The last place that Oleander had taken him was a place called Soul Sand Cove. They hadn't spent much time there. From atop the dunes, at a distance, it was easy to see far and wide down the shore. What else was there to see? The question plagued his mind that afternoon after he finished a hunt, returning a few grouse to the larder. With time to spare, he decides that finding answer to the question would be now. Honestly, he couldn't tell you what drew him to the curving bay, but something did.

Perhaps it was the way the shore zig-zagged back and forth as if a giant shark had take a bite from the land. Or maybe it was the way the sand here was black. Fine, small granules that weren't the standard white or grey or tan. His toes wiggle in that soft sand as he pauses at the bottom of the dune, chin tilting downward to watch said toes wiggle about. Chuckling quietly to himself at the silly motion, Wilder finally looks upward and around at his surroundings. Aside from the wispy sea grass and occasional palm tree, there wasn't much to the black sand bay.

Or was there?
