The Temporary Strand

Passing shipwrecks on my way to work. The salty smell of the sea lingers as I take my seat and boot up my computer. I live in a desert valley, and I should not be carefully maneuvering my car around sunken ships and wringing brine from my coat. 

A garden of seaweed is growing up from the rocks of my xeriscaped yard. It sways as if underwater, independent of the breeze. 

The sky begins to shimmer. A glittering skin above me, as if I'm underwater. 

Maybe it will be gone tomorrow.
