Born of the Sea

The great ship rose and fell with the waves. For the first time, a girl from a seaside town truly ventured out to sea. A silver ring glittered, seeming to enchant her heart like a spell.

This aimless ship carried a group of people, each with their own troubles. Their loves and hatreds became entangled across this boundless sea.

The young woman kept searching for the meaning of love among them. With reddened eyes, she looked at the man holding her in his arms. His light brown curls fell over his shoulders. For what might have been the umpteenth time, she asked him, "Do you love me?"

The man's smile was gentle and refined. "Of course."

This is my first time posting a story... Please forgive its shortcomings...

I really don't know how to write a blurb. This is a very short story, so if you're interested, come have a look. I've already finished writing it, and if I work hard at typing it up, I can post the whole thing at once!

A slight ensemble feel. There aren't many characters, but I've tried hard to make each one feel well-rounded. Everyone has their own story.

This is an alternate-history setting based roughly on the modern era in a foreign country. The story has a somber tone, so please keep your values in perspective.

A few warnings: BE (though I think that depends on how you interpret it).

The male lead is no good. If you care about sexual purity, run.

There is a large age gap.

I don't think I'm very good at giving warnings either... Too many and I'll spoil the story. But it's really short, so come take a look. If you don't like it, you can leave whenever you want!!

Theme: When searching for love, don't lose yourself in it.
