Dawn, four o'clock.
The sea breeze was gentle, the sky pitch black, the sound of water stirring vigorously.
The seawater crashed against the beach, erasing the marks left from the day before.
Flossie Wright emerged from the water.
Cross-country running, two hours. Swimming and diving, an hour and a half.
Drained of energy, Flossie Wright stepped through the sea, slowly moving to the beach, and collapsed onto a rock.
Tired.
Exhausted throughout her body.
Her limbs felt as if they were filled with lead, heavy, void of any sensation but cold, as if they could be hacked off at any moment.
Her physical strength had improved, but it couldn't withstand the way she was pushing herself to exhaustion.
After a while.
She turned over, facing up, her training outfit coated with fine sand.
The sky was a blanket of darkness, she couldn't see a glimmer of light in this region at this time, and the cold sea breeze seemed to leech away her body heat bit by bit.
