Handful of sand
From TheKolWiki
handful of sand
This is... well... it's a handful of sand. There's not much you can say about sand, really. It's like dirt, only more granular. Spanish for sand is arena. If you had an hourglass to watch the sand fall through, that'd be a poignant (if melodramatic) metaphor, but you don't have an hourglass. So yeah. Sand. Go ahead and count the grains if you want; seriously, go crazy. We won't make you count three million, though -- that would just be rude.
