location: lake side beach availability: open
She knows she should stay away—nothing good washes up on the shores here. Even the wildlife seems to stay away. When was the last time Célia saw a set of footprints in the sand that didn't belong to her?
Despite the warnings, Célia can't seem to stay away from the beach. It's laughable, how utterly landlocked the town is even with these flowing waters as a border. She dreamed of building a boat big enough for just her and the family dog when she was young, and sailing far, far away from here.
Obviously, that never happened. She's propped up in the sand, ways away from the moving shoreline, picking up handfuls of earth and letting it slip through her fingers. This is the closest she'll ever be to a real beach. It's a shame; the pictures in the magazines and books all seem so beautiful.
