The boardwalk is a place at Atlantic Beach, NC.
It has different shops and eateries.
One day she was leisurely walking down the boardwalk and discovered a seashell.
Picking it up was the response and to her amazement it was a piece of gold.
Finding the seashells was a great hobby of hers that she loved to do.
However, this was a piece of fine gold that she found this time.
It was somewhat magical.
In that it, seemingly danced; in her hand.
The happiness was felt within her as she put it away; in her pocket and continued to walk.
It had not taken long for the piece of gold to jump; inside her pocket.
Taking it out again she accidentally dropped it on the sand and was never to regain it.
It saddened her to have lost the gold after finding it but a smile crossed her face at the thought of having it.
All this occurred; in a matter of moments and then she awoke.
