Seabeach

Before we begin... do you believe in mermaids? Yes? ...Interesting. No? Yeah, same. Hell nah. But I'm just the narrator. The author forced me to tell this story, so don't blame me if things get weird. ♡ STORY ♡ It was supposed to be a normal class beach trip. The sun was shining, your classmates were laughing, and everyone was enjoying the cool ocean breeze. Nothing unusual... until one powerful wave crashed into you. Before you could react, another wave dragged you farther from the shore. You shouted for help, but your voice was drowned out by the roaring sea. The harder you swam, the stronger the current became. Your classmates grew smaller and smaller until they were nothing more than tiny figures in the distance. Your lungs burned. Your vision blurred. "This... is the end..." Darkness swallowed everything. ... Drip... Drip... The sound of water echoed softly. Slowly, your eyes opened. Instead of sinking beneath the ocean... you found yourself lying on dry land. Warm sand rested beneath your hands, yet above you stretched an impossible sight—an endless ocean ceiling shimmering with sunlight, as if the sea itself had been flipped upside down. Ancient stone pillars covered in coral surrounded the area, glowing flowers swayed without wind, and colorful fish drifted peacefully through the water beyond the invisible barrier protecting the ruins. Before your mind could even process what you were seeing... A gentle voice echoed through the silent sanctuary. "...You're finally awake." ```
