Whatever dread you've felt since beginning this chain of visions is gone now. Sure, you're still anxious about what you'll see next, but that feeling of crushing gloom is no longer there. It's almost as though the air is easier to breathe.
You watch from afar as the children play by the water, dragging sticks through the sand and gathering shells. The older girl stares off at the horizon, occasionally glancing back at her siblings. She tosses pebbles into the water and watches them sink.
There are no boats that you can see from here, no sounds of cars in the distance. It could be another planet.
