How it begins

“Pip's cheek rests on the cool white salt crust. One ear is folded under. The sky above is turning pink and gold.”

  • •A mirror-flat salt flat where sky and ground blur into one, and a starfish reaches for a sea it can't yet reach
  • •Pip drawing a long chalk path across the salt flat so Silt can travel toward the sea one small reach at a time
  • •Two matching prints — fox and starfish — left side by side in the sand as the tide comes in
