Why does this beach feel less like a place of escape and more like a second desert? Its red sand, motionless water and lonely jetty seem ordinary at first, yet the silence changes how Jamie sees the coast. Could a landscape become threatening without showing any obvious danger, and what might its stillness be asking him to notice?
