A tale of the sea, of forbidden love and broken hearts. A tale of love, and the pain it inflicts upon its hopeful victims.
Where do those who succumb to the sea go?
¿Do they die?
Most do, but few, the ones with a sailor's heart and wondering spirit...
Those the sea claims
Those the sea gives a new life...a child reborn
When Søren went overboard, when he fell prey to the sea and sunk deep into her clutches he never expected to breathe again. And as darkness took hold of his conscience he had accepted his fate, not regretting a thing. Never would he regret the way the sea called him, in fact, it seemed quite fitting for the sea to take his life...
But then, his eyes opened, and his heartbeat once more...and his life was never the same.
