It was the crack of dawn, and Austin was already out of bed, he had taken his shower and ate breakfast, and the sun was just coming up over the horizon. It was still practically dark outside, but Austin was in his swimming trunks, and about to head out to the beach with a towel over his shoulder.

He walked out of his house slowly, and opened the door quietly so he didn't wake his parents. He walked along the sidewalk path that lead away from his home and seemed like it never ended until he came to his car. He got in, yawned, and started it up. He drove away from the home, and drove to the beach.

He looked around the sandy shores. It was quite, which it wasn't quite very often at the beach. Austin smiled, closed his car door, and locked it. He walked onto the cool sand of the beach and close to the edge of the shore. He took a deep breath of fresh air before lying the towel down on the ground. He walked into the water until it came up to his waist, and he lied down and floated on top of the water. After a few minutes he swam back to shore since the sun was in the sky now, but still pretty close to the ground. He lied on the towel and looked up at the sky, all of the stars had disappeared at this point, and there were no clouds in the sky, yet.

This wasn't a rare activity for Austin, this was usually what he did every morning. Even when he goes to school he does this before he goes, but instead he dries off and gets right to school, but since there was no school today he figured he'd take a break and relax for and hour or two. When the beach started to crowd, he'd leave and go find something else to do.
