The Lighthouse Keeper's Daughter and the Sea Serpent's Song
The salt spray kissed Elara’s face as she clung to the railing of the Sea Serpent, a small fishing trawler bucking against the relentless waves. The churning grey sea mirrored the turmoil in her heart. She was leaving Haven’s Point, the only home she’d ever known, a place clinging precariously to the edge of a windswept cliff, dominated by the towering silhouette of her father’s lighthouse. Leaving wasn't a choice, it was an escape. An escape from the suffocating weight of tradition, from the whispers of the old wives' tales, and most importantly, from the haunting melody that only she could hear.

Everything is Fine
The old cemetery outside of town, tucked just past the knotted woods and beneath the endless, judging sky, is a place of whispers. No one goes there - not out of fear, exactly, but because of the way it feels. Uncanny, they call it. As if the air hums too low to hear but too deep to ignore. There’s the old watchtower, straight and unnervingly sturdy, its stones unweathered despite the years, as if it’s anchored by something more than mortar. And the collapsed mausoleum, where shadows gather long after the sun moves on.
