an interestingly different idea but i would have loved a bit of an explanation about the why and how this all works and is happening.
why does everyone have sand in there mouths? how do you make a baby not swallow that while drinking? how did it came to be and for what reason? when is this story set?
i liked the writing and as i said the idea is great but the story is one that you just have to take as it comes without trying to think or it all is very confusing

This took a minute for me to understand, but once I’d grasped it and thought about it… my heart was so heavy. The idea that we all carry it around and deal with it in our own ways is shown so eloquently here. If I was able to I’d be sobbing right now.

Sand is a short story, and it doesn’t take you long to read it. It is an interesting story with elements of magical realism. At the beginning, you may ask yourself why. After some time reading this, it won’t matter anymore. The main issue of the story is a metaphor for something else.
