The Great "Modern Man"
The sea was earl gray and the afternoon misty. They were searching for oysters, not pearls, the birds. That’s why they were called Oystercatchers. The wise ones weren’t concerned with the bright and shiny prize inside, they just sought after what nourished them. Though the climate changed, by washed-up sands, by wind-built dunes and storms destroying them, by people and pollution, no matter the changing agent, this would always be home. This was their nature: to swoop down and catch their oysters, retelling the endless tales of their ancestors.
