Inside the buildings, personal things could be found: combs left on dressers, a few ancient photographs, and neatly folded blankets forgotten on the ends of beds.
A wide road cut through the village and a broad staircase led down to a murky beach. On top of one of the buildings, an overgrown fountain and the remnants of a garden could be found.
Powered crystal, which looked like snow from far away, and like sand close up, choked the side streets and surrounded the village.

"Would you like to go for a walk with me? Just along the beach, where it's still safe?"

*Ooooooooooooooooooooooooh!* Her sisters weren't above a little good-natured teasing.
