Sand Castles
by Desirina Boskovich
“We’re on a journey,” Radley says.
“We have a map,” Audra says. She speaks quietly, barely above a whisper, but I have no trouble hearing her, even in the noisy bar.
“Yeah,” Radley says. “We have a map.”
“But what we don’t have…”
“Is a car,” Radley finishes.
I’m amused, but not surprised. Artists—this is about all you can expect. “So exactly where is this map leading you?” I ask.
“Somewhere on the Gulf of Mexico,” Audra says. “A beach.”
“There’s one outside, you know.”
“We need this particular beach. Because of the sand,” Radley says.
“What?”
“Because we need it,” Audra says. And they won’t say anything more.
