Last month, 330Words ran a writing workshop for the young people at the Reclaim Project. This story was produced by one of the writers during the event.
Walking over billions of years of the past. Buried under shells, sand and stone.
The girl wanders over the sandy beach. No treasure has been found for quite a while now. And now, she sits alone on the shells, sand and stone.
She glances over to her family; using spades and trowels to make patterns in the sand. The girl will dig no more.

Beautiful. This has left me with so many questions, but I almost don’t want answers for them – it’s better to keep working through the potential answers on your own. Such excellent talent for someone so young.
