Gilbert stepped off the train into the new city. It's he harsh sunlight pierced his eyes, blinding him. But he loved it. It wa the complete opposite from his snowy home town. Everyone was upbeat as well, instead of hunched backs and permanent scowls. His heart for once beat hard with joy and eagerness, not fear of pain or sadness. He only had a weathered rucksack, but it held all of his belongings; clothes. Exiting the train station, he called for a taxi, planning to head straight to the beach, a wonder he had never seen with his own eyes before.
