#TradeWarEases The sun was shining in the sky while the sea waves caressed the shore. A group of children played in the sand, laughing and shouting with joy. An older man read a book under the shade of an umbrella, enjoying the coolness. The sea breeze brought with it the scent of salt and freedom. Life seemed to stop at that moment, full of peace and serenity. The sound of seagulls echoed in the air.
