It is late afternoon when they start walking. Occasionally they see a train flash between the houses or vanish into a tunnel with a flick of its silver tail.

The breeze picks up and caps the blue sea white.

It is heavy going through the sand. Their shoes fill up and every step takes more effort than they had thought. After a while the beach turns completely into pebbles but their feet wobble on the rickety stones and Aryan is worried he will twist his ankle again.

When they come to a stream feeding effluent into the sea they leave the beach and walk along the quiet roads between the holiday homes. The summer has faded, and many of the cottages are already boarded up.

As evening draws in they take some late tomatoes from an unwatched market garden and make a nest out of newspapers and dried grass.
