Wim 🅾→Ⓣ<p>Time flies, here is the fifth instalment of my new story "The Dunes of Àrd-Dhìthreabh", Chapter 5. "Winter"</p><p><em>Àrd-Dhìthreabh, February 2062</em></p><blockquote><p>It was early afternoon on a typical West of Scotland winter day. In this season, Suna always tried to spend as much of the short days outside as possible, even if it meant less business. It was a matter of survival. So here she was on the beach at Bàrr Fhasaidh, with the tide coming in, driven by the cold, merciless wind. It also brought showers of horizontal sleet, stinging her face and whipping at her clothes. During such squalls, everything was a gloomy grey, as if the sun had already set, or maybe never risen. Visibility was only a few paces, but she trundled on regardless. And although they seemed to last like an eternity, soon the sun would break through the clouds, the beach and dunes would lit up and you would feel the warmth on your face, and it was glorious to be out.</p></blockquote><ul><li>read in full: <a href="https://selfedge.org.uk/fiction/the-dunes-of-ard-dhithreabh/chapter-5-winter.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Chapter 5.

"Autumn"</p><p><em>Wissant, November 2061</em></p><blockquote><p>Late Autumn was Muir's least favourite time of the year to be on the beach. The dark days and the interminable blanket of low grey cloud made him feel melancholy; and for some reason it always made him think of the battle that had been fought here. Which was now a hundred and twenty-five years ago, and still the beach was strewn with corroded bullets and age-blackened shells. The concrete bunkers had all turned to sand though, only their rebar remaining, like cubist whale skeletons.</p></blockquote><ul><li>read in full: <a href="https://selfedge.org.uk/fiction/the-dunes-of-ard-dhithreabh/chapter-4-autumn.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Chapter 4.

Wim 🅾→Ⓣ<p>Today I'm posting the third instalment of my new story "The Dunes of Àrd-Dhìthreabh", Chapter 3. "Summer"</p><p><em>Inbhir Èireann, July 2061</em></p><blockquote><p>Seònaid stood on the beach near the remains of the forest of Roseisle and looked north over the Morray Firth towards the distant low lying land of the Tairbeart peninsula. It was a beautiful day and quite hot, and the far-off land was shimmering in the haze.</p><p>Apparently, where she stood had once been a sizeable forest, planted on top of the dune system to stop it from shifting and engulfing the homesteads. With the rise of the sea level, part of the forest had flooded and the trees had died. The rest of the forest had burned down repeatedly and in the end no more attempts at reforestation had been made. The dunes were magnificent now. It might have been her imagination but they seemed even taller than when she was a child. And the forest was not quite dead: everywhere small conifers were shooting up through the sand, and in sheltered dune slacks there were already some small groves.</p></blockquote><ul><li>read in full: <a href="https://selfedge.org.uk/fiction/the-dunes-of-ard-dhithreabh/chapter-3-summer.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Chapter 3.

Wim 🅾→Ⓣ<p>Here is the second instalment of my new story "The Dunes of Àrd-Dhìthreabh", Chapter 2. "Spring"</p><blockquote><p><em>Àrd-Dhìthreabh, April 2061</em></p><p>Suna paused at the foot of the embankment to take in the sight.</p><p>At low tide the beach of Àrd-Dhìthreabh was always looking its best, even on a bad day. But today, on this glorious spring afternoon, the light so pale and fresh it was almost sparkling, it was truly stunning: an uninterrupted stretch of sand as far as the eye could see, hundreds of metres wide, tall sand dunes on one side, the surf on the other, running in a shallow curve along the bay towards distant An Truthail, barely a smudge on the horizon. Sand dervishes seemed to form out of nothing, did their whirling dance and dissolved again into the beach. The sea surface was a hardly ruffled steel blue on which Eilean Arainn sailed at anchor, majestic with its tall snow-capped mountains. Suna had seen this sight hundreds of times but it still took her breath away.</p></blockquote><ul><li>read in full: <a href="https://selfedge.org.uk/fiction/the-dunes-of-ard-dhithreabh/chapter-2-spring.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Chapter 2.

Yes, thought Muir, 2054, that figured: it was the year he had started at the University, to study History. He hadn't liked it much, in fact he was at that point seriously regretting it. He remembered lying awake that night, fretting over his position in the class, how everyone seemed to ignore him. In particular none of the female students would give him the time of day.
