A Grain Of Sand's 5 Senses

What if a grain of sand can smell, hear, feel, see, and think? What if they can see the sea's waves coming towards them as the tide comes in, following the cycle of the moon. What if they can hear the rush of cold water all around them as it surges past them and then swoops back, dislodging them from the pile that a little boy had made out of them that morning. What if they can smell the essence of salt overpowering and filling their heads. What if they know, as they're being pulled out to sea, that they're never coming back.
This is what grains of sand experience everyday, every week, every year, year after year. For eternity. That is the day in the life of a grain of sand.
