SakshiA Trail Of Sand
By the appearance of the pumice, it felt as if they would get collided with the rock. But surprisingly, they managed to sail through it. The piece was made with the amalgamation of several tiny pumice. The eerie sight had taken best of the sailors. They moved ahead to discover the reason behind its formation. By this, they had inched closer to the truth.
What Ensued?
A break in the amalgam followed as they sailed through the pumice. It appeared as a piece of land had broken into two sections. The only difference was the break in this one was not dark and hollow but blue and water filled. They kept on infiltrating not realizing this journey was going to end at an unbelievable point.
Spreading A Long Way
Now the crew was surrounded with seamless sand. They had lost the beginning and were nowhere near its end. It seemed as if they had landed in a city of sand that refused to end. The members were having a mixed feeling of curiosity and fear. Had they stepped into a territory of something awful. Were they not supposed to be here? And most importantly where were they going to end?
Smooth And Suspicious!
Despite all the confusion, they continued sailing through the sand. Surprisingly, the rocks did not trouble them a bit in their journey. The boat was running smoothly as if everything was pre-planned. In fact, moving through the pumice was much easier than they had thought.
Trapped!
The hours went by and the crew was still surrounded by the rock. There was no possibility of the water-filled sea on the horizon for next many miles either. Turning back was not an option too. They needed to think on their feet. After discussing the matter they concluded that it would be best for them to continue sailing in the same direction with increased speed.
Reached The End?
Finally, they managed to cross the sea of pumices. All of them took a sigh of relief. However, they had no idea the pumice was the prelude of something more terrible that they were going to witness. All of the men were grinning ear to ear as they thought they escaped something terrible unaware of what was lying ahead. Their misunderstanding shattered to pieces when they heard a deafening noise.
