The man near the rock formation on the beach was getting close to the end of his life. He had been living on the beach for many years, and the Rock had been his only friend. The man had never left the beach, and he had never seen another human being. He had never even seen a photograph or a television show. The only thing he knew about the outside world was what he could see from the beach.
The man had been happy on the beach. He was content to watch the waves crash against the shore and to feel the sand between his toes. He liked to sit on the Rock and watch the sunset. It was always so beautiful.
But now, the man was old. He was very old, and he knew that his time was running out. He could feel it in his bones. He was tired all the time, and he couldn't move around like he used to. He knew that he didn't have much time left.
The man had been thinking about what would happen to him when he died. He didn't want to die on the beach alone. He wanted to be surrounded by people who loved him. He wanted to have a proper funeral with a preacher and a gravesite. But he knew that was never going to happen.
The man thought about his life on the beach. He had been happy here. He had been content. But now, he was scared. He was scared of dying alone and of what would happen to his body after he died.
The man decided that he wanted to leave the beach. He wanted to see the outside world before he died. He wanted to know what was out there.
The man thought about how he could leave the beach. He could swim out to sea, but he didn't know how far it was to the other side. He could walk around the edge of the beach, but he didn't know how long it would take. He could wait for someone to come and find him, but he didn't know if anyone ever would.
The man decided to walk around the edge of the beach. He knew it would take a long time, but he didn't want to die on the beach alone.
The man walked for days. He walked until his feet were sore and his legs were tired. He walked until he couldn't walk anymore. He sat down on the sand and looked out at the sea. He could see the other side.
The man got up and started walking again. He walked for days and nights. He walked until he couldn't walk anymore. He lay down on the sand and rested. He knew he was getting close to the end.
