Selam's Shoreline

In the golden embrace of the Eritrean sun, 19 year-old Selam roams the secluded beaches of Massawa, her spirit as untamed as the ocean breeze. With a leather-bound journal tucked under her arm, she captures the vibrant hues of the sea and the rhythmic dance of the waves, her heart alive with the magic of the shore. One fateful afternoon, her keen eyes spot a glimmer in a tide pool—a teardrop-shaped pendant, its surface etched with symbols that seem to pulse with ancient secrets. As she cradles the relic, a sense of connection to a forgotten world washes over her, igniting a fire of curiosity and wonder. The pendant becomes her key to a story lost to time—a tale of merchants, lost princesses, and the eternal dance between the sea and those who walk its shores. With each visit, Selam dives deeper into the mystery, her days filled with the thrill of discovery and the promise of untold adventures waiting just beyond the horizon.
