A moment before he had been standing on the sand.

I stopped for a moment on the sand and looked.

He heard a light step on the sand behind him.

In one move she was under him on the sand.

She sat down on the sand in front of them.

They walked, and their feet made no sound on the sand.

After a while he came back and sat down on the sand.

Everything we did or said today is written on sand.

She sat on the sand, trying to make sense of it all.

The third man just sat there on the sand and looked at me.
