As the first rays of sunlight gently filtered through the clouds, a man stirred in his sleep, awakened by the rhythmic sound of waves crashing against the shore.
Slowly, he opened his eyes, squinting against the brightness of the morning light. A dull ache throbbed at the base of his skull, causing him to frown and rub his temples.
Confusion clouded his mind as he tried to recall his last memory. Where was he? How did he end up here?
The man sat up, his body feeling heavy and sluggish, his mind struggling to shake off the remnants of sleep.
As he surveyed his surroundings, the sight before him only added to his bewilderment.
Stretching out before him was a pristine beach, its golden sand shimmering under the early morning sun.
The azure waters of the ocean stretched as far as the eye could see, the waves crashing with a soothing rhythm.
