4.

When Martha woke up, It was dawn. Yesterday, She met three people except Sara. One was the boy that Sara told. His name was Michael. Michael had a silver hair and a silver eyes like every one does. Martha thought he is not bad. Although She couldn't say he is good. And second was Sara's husband. Martha thought he looks familiar. But Martha knew it couldn't be. He said his name is Jack. He was tall kind man. Third was a man. Martha didn't mean to introduce the man. But they met in the road. The man didn't say his name or introduce himself. He was a strange man. Martha didn't remember much but one thing she knew was that the man has a black hair. Before she see the man only color she saw was gray, except herself. So she wanted to meet him again. Even Sara warned about strangers. 

But when he got up she felt hopeless again. What would she do?

She heard knocking. It must be Sara. Martha opened the door. It was Sara, holding a bowl.

"Do you wanna eat breakfast?"

She nodded and got a bowl. She couldn't know what it is. It looked like a kind of meat. Whatever it looks like She chose to eat it. After breakfast she went to a street. There was many people unlike yesterday. She ran through the crowd. Martha didn't know where she going but she kept running. And he heard someone calling her name.

"Martha! Wait!"

It was Michael. He was running fast and when he was near Martha, he couldn't stop running. He bumped a tree. Martha laughed. Michael got up and he said to her.

"Where were you going? "

She didn't know what to answer.

"Me? I don't know. I was just running."

After a short silence Michael said.

"Did you see the ocean? Or... Did you know that there is an ocean?"

"Ocean? I didn't hear about it. Do you know where it is?"

"Of course! If you wanna see the ocean, follow me!"

Michael began to run. Martha ran fast, But he was faster. They reach the ocean after few minutes. The ocean looked beautiful. It was silver ocean. And she noticed different. The sun. Over the ocean, the sun was bright (too bright, so she couldn't look straight) red and yellow.

"Why the sun is red here?"

Martha asked.

"The sun? Why? The sun in this ocean always looks like this."

"Really? but it is impossible. Yesterday, the sun was silver like mirror. And the sun is one. We don't say 'suns'. Isn't it?"

"Yep. I don't know why too. Only thing I know that the sun over this sun always looked colorful. Isn't it beautiful? And guess what? People who gone to this ocean, never came back. So we call this ocean..."

"What?"

"What? What do you mean?"

"Never came back?"

"Why? Did I said something wrong?"

Martha was thinking fast. May it would be impossible. But worth to try it. She began to run. Poor Michael was following her, shouting.  Martha could't hear him. What if the sun is the gate... Because she was too excited she didn't saw what was in the front of him. Maybe it was a club. Or kind of wood. Whatever it is She bump into it hard. Everything went black.
