The long way home
A wave picked you up like a leaf, rolled you until up and down swapped places, and dropped you in cold water over a seabed split wide open.
And here is the strange part. The way home is not up.
The Trench leans as it falls. Past the last of the light, past where the eels keep their cracks in the wall, it opens into the Warm Cave — where your family is waiting up a beach of white sand.
Down.
