This has great potential

"I read the whole piece and enjoyed the concept. I'm confused at the opening line - They dropped her on the wet sand. Later you say the tide is on the flood so the sand should be dry at this point. Sentence beginning - The men turned. Thios might read better as The men left and returned along the path to the village. We then jump into why she is on the beach. IMO this is the start of the story. IMO this has great potential but needs an edit to polish. The concept is good. You use the word DREG instead of drag, why?"
