An Imaginary Day at the Beach

You are not here, you are at a sunny hot beach. At first you are just enjoying the hot sand against your back, the sights and the rolling sounds of the waves. But as evening comes, you are ready to throw those flip-flops into the sea and head on down to the swingin', cocktailfilled beachparty just round the corner. Remember, you are not here.
