Shards of a Sunk Heart
Elias tasted the salt on his tongue before his eyes even opened, a permanent fixture in the air of their small, leaning shack on the cliffs.

Beside him, Lena, twelve years old and too thin, breathed a shallow, rhythmic gasp that always settled his gut, for a moment anyway. He shifted, joints popping like old timber, and the lumpy mattress groaned. Another day. Another dive into the deep, into the silence, into the shimmering ghost of what was once. The Sunken Glass City.

What to Expect When Visiting Playa Ventanas for the First Time
Traveling somewhere new always comes with a quiet moment of uncertainty, especially when the destination is known more by word of mouth than glossy brochures. Before my first visit to Playa Ventanas, I wondered what kind of experience I was walking into. Would it feel welcoming or overwhelming, easy or unpredictable.

It piled on the sill, a thick, clean blanket over the gritty urban landscape he usually saw. He watched it for a long minute, a slow swirl, like sugar being poured from a height.
