I was tagged by @alexis-bellissima in this post to find the words where, grey, and calm. Thank you!
Where: “Where to, Captain?” an older man, grey haired before his time and rather round at the waist but still spry, asked the much younger man standing in front of him.
Grey: A grey fog hung over the town, a rarity even in the seaside port towns. Usually the sun would have been up and shining by now and, if you bothered to look up, you could just about see a faint disk of gold in the sky. There were mutterings about it being an omen of bad things to come but Nenet paid no heed to them.
Calm: He turned and looked out across the unusually calm ocean. “The daemon must be sleeping,” he thought, remembering the tales the people of Saguaro had about the sea.
I tag @writersloth (I still need to do yours I’m sorry) and @srazar to find the words gold, beetle and sand.
