The raft Overwhelmed floats in the ocean. Its towers rock. Waves topple. Everyone wears slickers, storm or no, misty from turbulent seas. Seals and whales collide against Overwhelmed and swim underneath. Otters crawl up and walk through the city diving into its fountains.
Overwhelmed writhes and flexes. The sea goes on and on.
Visitors arrive by ship and find themselves long adrift.
They tender to the raft and the motor stutters as it brings them back, riding the rough waves.
Everything tastes too salty.
Lost, a tower far out in the middle of the churning sea of Overwhelmed, rocks and drifts. The Lost Selkies, who cast off their seal skins when they climb up the Lost tower steps, make poor and unmotivated decisions about the fate of Overwhelmed, who shall come and go and which ships are allowed.
“Follow the red sun,” the Selkie Mayor says.
Travelers dive into the ocean and swim and swim toward home. Some succeed, others slowly slip below the waves.
