I just started reading Bernard Cornwell’s Sharpes series. I love the seafaring stuff and this piece here is one reason why. – Ocean tales pull me under, with no desire to break free.

Very epic feelings, like an old folk legend or fairy tale. Feels a bit like a cautionary tale as well. Nicely done.

Reminded me of this, one of my favorite songs.

Lovely story.

Haunting. Interestingly, I heard no regret from the drowned, only acceptance.
