THE ARCHITECT
She couldn’t have been more than seven. Alone, hair like seaweed, tangled and wet, crouched low to the sand like she was guarding something sacred. The beach near Huskisson was empty... just her, the breeze, and a sky swollen with mood. One pink cloud floated like an afterthought above the sea, the kind you remember decades later and don’t know why.
She packed the sand tight with small, determined fists. Turrets, moats, the crooked walls of a lopsided kingdom. Not a sound from her, just the hush of tide and the occasional screech of a gull that didn’t bother landing. A red bucket, no parent yelling from a towel, just her, serious as a monk.
I stood back, watching from behind a dune. Something about her chipped away at me. Maybe it was the way her castle faced the ocean, not the land. Like she was building it for the sea to see.
And for a moment, I wondered if she was real at all... or just a memory the water hadn’t yet washed away.
