Whispers of the Tide

A short story

Ayanda has always found solace in the sea, whispering her secrets to the waves that never betray her trust. But when a long-lost love returns with the tide, no longer flesh, but a shadow of what once was, she is faced with a truth she cannot escape.

The lighthouse has stood silent for ten years, its beacon extinguished by tragedy, yet whispers of curses and restless spirits swirl through the village like the sea breeze.

When Elias, the boy who once promised to return, appears at the water's edge, Ayanda is drawn into a love story that defies time, loss, and the boundaries between the living and the dead.

As the storm of fate looms ever closer, she must decide, does she let go, or does she follow him beyond the horizon, where the ocean keeps its lost souls?

A haunting tale of love, longing, and the call of the deep.
