Chapter 4 — Whispers in the Wreckage

Elena Carter

Elena stood at the edge of the shipwreck, her gaze fixed on the rusted metal and splintered wood scattered along the rocky shore. The sea's relentless waves lapped against the wreckage, a melancholic melody resonating with the sorrow she felt within. She inhaled deeply, the salty air mingling with the scent of moss and seaweed, and began to paint. Her brushstrokes captured the haunting beauty of the scene before her, the bristles dancing across the canvas like the gentle touch of a lover's hand.
