She closed her eyes, letting the sun soak into her skin as she breathed in the salty air. A loud rumble that felt like it shook the very ground under her feet jolted her upright. She looked up, shading her eyes, to see a backhoe had moved in, leveling the old beach hut that had stood for generations. The tide was no longer the sole master of the beach.
