Mara had spent an hour…
…
…building a sandcastle.
Tiny towers.
Little walls.
A bridge.
She smiled.
Mara:
It’s finished.
Chibi looked toward the sea.
The tide was returning.
Slowly.
Patiently.
Chibi:
Almost.
Silence.
Mara:
The waves will destroy it.
Chibi nodded.
Chibi:
Yes.
Another pause.
Mara:
Then why build it?
He watched children laughing farther down the beach.
Building castles of their own.
Chibi:
Did you enjoy making it?
Mara smiled.
Mara:
Yes.
Chibi:
Did you make today a little brighter?
She looked around.
Others had started building beside her.
Laughing.
Creating.
Together.
Mara:
I think I did.
The first wave reached the castle.
One tower disappeared.
Then another.
Soon…
Only smooth sand remained.
Mara watched the empty beach.
Then she picked up another handful of wet sand.
Mara:
Let’s build another one.
Chibi smiled.
Chibi:
Exactly.
The sea would always return.
That was never the reason…
…to stop building.
If everything is destined to fall…
…how will you live before it does?
