He was just a gnome in her eyes.
She was but a giant in his eyes.
They both met on a shoreline.
Near the singing seagulls.
Her skin tanned in the tone of a chocolate.
His skin white as a snow.
She a beautiful lady with black hair.
He a skinny man with a haircut like a samurai.
They're eyes met.
As the wave hit the sand.
He opened his mouth.
But she did as well.
"Yo, need something?"
"Actually yeah. I am kinda new here and I was wondering if you could tell me where the nearest shop is."
"Head straight out of the beach and turn to the right then walk for a couple of minutes and there it is, bucko."
"Thanks."
He turned his head to see the sea.
A couple of seagulls fly above.
Flying through the turquoise sky.
As if there was no one around.
"Beautiful isn't it?"
"Yeah."
"Well, thanks for helping me. I need to go now."
"Wait, bucko, I need to go to the shop too so I am going to tag along."
"Sure."
This is where the story began.
On a small island.
Somewhere in Japan.
Okinawa, I think it's called.
