The Sea At Night
Dana wasn't allowed to walk the beach alone, even in broad daylight. Her parents never gave a reason, but she'd heard them whispering about the men who lived in the sea.
Late at night, when her family was asleep, Dana would wade out into the surf. She'd dig up sand dollars and watch the moonlight refract through the water. She had never been hindered by fear of the unknown.
When the sea men came for her, Dana did not scream. Perhaps this was what she wanted all along. She would not miss her family. She would not miss the earth.
