Dusk came
quickly on the coast. In a few brief
minutes, the brilliance of the sunset bathed the shores and the houses lining
it in a golden radiance that rivaled Heaven itself. Just as quickly, the awe-inspiring display of
light would disappear with only the final dying embers of the sun dancing off
the waves, reflecting for moments before being snuffed out by the
twilight. The salt-infused air of the
sea mingled with the breeze carrying the waves inland to cool the cobblestones
that had soaked up the warm rays of the sun a few scant hours prior.
