The sand dunes are covered in marram grass. Huge waves thunder up the beach and then run out of puff. The waves are powerful but they can't hurt you unless you get too close. Of course you never know when an extra big one is going to rush up and grab you. Life is like that. Just when you feel safe bang something awful happens. A wave of fate knocks you over.
