Wave

Watching the mist rolling in on the tide none of them could of imagined what was coming. The empty beach looked so peaceful and safe.
The cattle in the fields behind them knew, they moved uneasily and their mooing grew to a crescendo. The dogs knew too they all left save one. She stayed close to her master.
Unsettled by the noise of the cattle the people of the cliff top moved towards their houses. The man and his faithful dog the last ones to leave.
At midnight the cattle finally fell silent and the lights in the three seaview cottages went out.
The mist stayed for three days. None of the villagers ventured near the beach or the clifftops. They all felt the menace in the air.
On the fourth day the mist was gone, so we’re the cliffs, the cattle and the cottages and their occupants.
The landscape was vastly changed, the land now ran straight to the sea, the fields level with the beach. Three families gone….five generations between them.
The beach was different too no longer golden and peaceful but grey and forbidding. They never found a soul from the cottages nor any of the cattle only the dog remained.
One of the villagers took her in but though still a gentle soul she was now so timid she was almost unapprochable.
After a while she died, no one ever spoke of what happened again untill many years later when on a beautiful sunny afternoon another mist rolled in.
They had no idea that this was the second wave.
