you decide to follow the shrimp.
after wading through the shallow pool for a short while you reach a beach... or rather a desert? beneath your feet, a plane of sand stretches way off into the horizon.
"well," says the shrimp, who is bobbing along with the tide. "i am a shrimp and i can't go on the land. if you go far enough off into the horizon, you'll reach the city again. ok?"
would you like to say good bye to the shrimp and continue to the city?
