The ground was covered with lush green grass, studded with spring\'s wildflowers. Scattered among the trees, not yet ripe berries grew in thick dark patches. A cold spring bubbled out of a hillside, coming alive as a stream, only to meet a sudden death in the vast open sea." Though working class, the protagonist i
