Re: Nikolaj and the Newbies
Absent-mindedly you brush off the inch long hermit crab, and stand up. A beach stretches out to the right and curves off, and runs long and straight until you see a headland that holds some rocks in its core, as its bonesin the far distance.
The sand is gleaming white with not a trace of litter.
Forty feet ahead of you lies a dense line of jungle. Mangrove, pine, pineapple, and enormous ferns compete for sunlight with an abundant undergrowth of younger trees, and smaller ferns, and vines.
A foot long bird of paradise stares back at you, resplendent in its feathers from a coconut tree limb.
The beach is ....alive. You see dozens of small crabs, starfishes, larger crabs, gulls swooping down for lunch, and turtles trundling about their business. Some red and green birds, about twenty of them are nesting up near the jungle edge.
