There was a breeze in the locker. The sand blew along the ground, tiny drifts forming and unforming. Not that he could feel either sand or breeze, or the glaring sun’s heat. No scent of anything at all, either, good or bad. There was light, of course, illuminating sun and sand. No hope of stars. No bosom of blue ocean.
Sand was his bed, and he stilled, closing his eyes against the sameness. Despair whispered, seductive. But he couldn’t focus. There was an odd rattling, cracking, click clacking. Bones, he thought.
He opened one eye. Not bones. Crabs.
“That’s interesting.”
