Then silence.
Before the Great Drowning. Before the sea rose up and swallowed the lower streets. Before the children stopped singing. imceaglaer
Not ghostly. Not threatening. Just… faint. Like a memory pressed into wet stone. A child’s giggle. A fiddle tuning. The shuffle of soft shoes on a wooden floor.
The villagers thought she was addled. But they humored her because she still wove the best fishing nets in the county. But the silence hummed
Now, at ninety-three, she walked the cracked path to the clifftop every evening to listen for something nobody else could hear: the imceaglaer .
And down below, in the drowned schoolhouse, the imceaglaer shifted. Then silence
It didn’t stop.
