Oh boy, first non-collab tale on the site! Best of luck to everyone taking part in the contest!
This is loosely based off of tales from my childhood, as well as Prompt 14 : "The land rejected me, so I became one with the waves."
Special thanks to Sebarus and Rounderhouse for critique/feedback.
And another thanks to all the folks on the Discord putting up with my rambling lmao (Looking at you, Otter, Max, and Areni, lol).
Image was digitally painted by me, based on the beach from my childhood. Released under CC ShareAlike 3.0, just like always.
But the time flies, irretrievable.
