Black Sands

Black sands are a remnant of the active volcanic nature of our world. The red hot lava sets to black stone as it cools, followed by a gradual wearing down over time to become innumerable tiny particles, smaller and smaller as the moon throws the ocean over them over and over again. Nothing lasts forever in its original form, what was becomes something new. Suns explode, planets burn, and the living keep on living.
