My friends told me they had seen sparkles in the sea, aka sea fairies, on a night-time skinny dip, and they wanted to go back for more. In the summer’s heat pretexts for swimming were multiplying rapidly, but here was a compelling reason to get immersed. We went to our secret swimming spot and as our hands moved through the water green sparks flashed in eddies and swirls. We could stir sparkles up with our toes.
