Heavy foot steps crunch the Cold sand of the beach.Two men encapsulated in heavy body armor patrol alongside the shoreline.The air is cold and moist,but they do not feel it. It's still dark outside, and the only things visible are the two flashlights, and a faint reflection of the body armors. The Sea is restless, but that is not their concern.The Two men seem to have increased their pace,as their flashlights are both pointed at a large container washed away by the sea. Carefully inspecting the container one of them touches the cold metal surface,sweeps the sand off and reveals a small glass display wich appeard to be functional. A somewhat loud beeping noise is heard from within. The second man points his flash light towards the small display: " nuke armed,expl in..1'' ". The air stopped moving ,the sea became still, everything was now quiet: The sun was rising!

I wonder what thoughts went through the mens minds at that moment? Did you write this? I very much liked the imagery.

It's interesting how you take an image that is usually so calm (the beach) and make it a dangerous place (dangerous weapons washed ashore). You have to watch your capitalization, however. You seem to capitalize randomly like "Cold" in the first sentence. It becomes distracting from your idea, which is very intriguing. Good luck with your writing.

Thank you , and indeed I have a tendency to capitalize when I feel like a word is more important in the sentence. I just like to write it like that..don't ask why ..I know it's not literary correct.:)
