Cerulean Cape lent et douloureux

YO UNDERSEA

the only thing worse than the southern inland, in her opinion, was the coast. she liked water well enough in its frozen form, but here? soggy and salty. add the fact that she was alone in the world, her family scattered to the wind, and one could well imagine why Tahani felt utterly defeated as she sat on the edge of the cape, staring over the moonlit horizon.

where had they gone wrong? what had they done to incur nature's wrath? she knew deep down that none of it really had meaning, that it was all random and up to chance. . .but still. was there anything she could have done? it was a question that would haunt her forever.

she was slowly losing the will to go on. where she would head or what she would do, she didn't know. at this point, she didn't really care. Tahani was so trapped in this cycle of misery that she was starting to think it all a dream, a sick, twisted dream. that she'd wake up on the glacier, cuddled up near Currituck, and all would be well once more.

but how long did a goddamn dream have to last before she had endured enough to wake?
