Sand//Mau

23 August 2012 @ 02:03 pm

IC: Dream Post

The space you are standing in is cold and grey and very still. There is nothing beneath your feet, nowhere to go. You hang for a long moment, in this place with no place, without direction or a proper sense of time, until the light dims...

...and your feet touch ground. Your eyes are closed. When you open them, you find yourself here.

Re: The Beach

She looks like she was about seven, naked except for a loincloth. Her long, wavy black hair is matted with mud and salt.

The sound gets louder, slowly... something person sized is dragging something heavy out of the forest onto the sand.

Re: The Beach

Mau trudges out of the bush beside you, dragging a man's body as carefully as he can -- it's too heavy to carry. He pays you no attention.

He doesn't respond in the slightest, not even glancing toward you. He just trudges on, dragging the body toward the water.

Re: The Beach

He turns -- his eyes are streaming tears, but even now that you've touched him, he doesn't seem to see you. He looks puzzled for a moment, then turns away again to continue his slow progress.

He doesn't hear you. He just keeps pulling his burden towards the water.

Of course he wouldn't--

Re: The Beach

As some of the weight lifts he stumbles a little, and blinks like he's waking up.

"...Apple..?"

His voice is a hoarse croak.

"Yes. To the deepwater current."

He points to the gap in the reef -- it looks much closer than it did when you were walking away from it.

It's farther away than it looks. Or maybe it isn't, from here?
