[bodytext] => Pristine beaches. lovely Sky water. Those unhappy many..... who would see blue Waves turn to gory Mud. Glorious swells........pure power. Struck dumb......awe and fear would mingle like twin brothers in your mind. No thoughts left to think. No time to think them. But the glory of it is so fleeting. Awe, quickly superceded by fear. Then there is only reality. Salt in your hair.....then your lungs...... Wailing of the Woman in Red.....Shown countless times on Discovery. Red, the color of pain. The color of blood. Color of Death. Witnesses. The ones who did not Get to die. The ones who must Remember. Children. so many little children. Legs not long enough to outrun the wall of water. We must stack them on top of each other now. Each must share their death with countless Others. That idle One. The small figure we see rise slowly from the sand. Us, safely looking on from afar.....from behind the camera.... Behind our Television sets..... And he.......He sees his own death and does not run. When the waters recede...... there is..... Nothing.
