Thoughts about the death scene

- Needs to work with a strong sense of fluidity
- The sand will 'punch' through the layers of skin streaming to the floor.
-The mother will eventually collapse (compress) in on herself similarly to a sand castle (sand castles are strong forts and so there is much likeness between the two).
