Sequoia Coast stranger than earth

The annoying biter was quickly displaced and Levi bent once again to digging in the seaweed. After a moment he found what he was looking for - a shell. He picked it up carefully in his teeth and laid it down in the clean sand, away from the other debris and detritus on the beach. Then he turned once again to combing through the tangle of ocean flora, looking for more shells.

As he was digging, more of those tiny creatures flung themselves onto him, some biting down. Levi yelped, shaking himself all over, trying to get them off. Once he was satisfied they were all gone, he grumbled something under his breath and moved away. He picked up his shell and left; he didn't want to get bitten any more by those stupid minuscule creatures.
