Surya stood back to admire his work. ‘Imagine it gilded, roof and wall.’ A residence suited to Yama and Yami.
He cast a glance at the other sand castles. Nah, none equalled his.

I thank you.
I confess to a slight tweak to the Google photo, to sharpen it and make it appear more sand-like.
BTW: though you probably know, Surya is the Sun-god, Yama and Yami are his children. I thought them apt na,mes.

Wow, what an amazing find, that sand castle! I can’t even imagine how long it took to make that, and how careful the maker would have to be.

You did a much better job of keeping to the word count than I normally do!

That’s my problem: I spend far too much time thinking out the story, and it just gets longer and longer in the process!

I know that particular phenomon. Hence a story that began, in first draft, at 150k words, now weighs in at a total of 650k words.

It makes me chuckle. Who’d ever believe I could keep that tight when I’m currently editing (prior to e-publication) a 650,000 word 5-part series.
