Sand (Fiction 101 Series)
Mining had always been dangerous, especially below the
turbulent global ocean. That was where most of the valuable sand was located –
under water. Cities spotted the planet over the ocean and on the remnants of high
ground and mountains that pierced the raging sea. The cities illumination was
meager compared to the past. So the vast blanket of bright stars returned to
the night sky. It was a reminder of what once was. Now, the sand was more
valuable than diamonds and more beautiful than stars. And the dry sand was
still more plentiful than the inhabitants of the priceless planet.
