Write a detailed description of a depressing scene outside a coastal area with a double line of rotting pilings.
assistant
A double line of rotting pilings stretches from the sand out into the water of the bay, either the remains of an earlier pier from more prosperous times or more probably one that was wrecked in a storm. Although the villagers look well-fed and content enough, it's hard to imagine the little inlet supporting a much larger settlement.
