October 23, 2023 - The coastlines bend & bow. Tides unusually echo through hollow chambers of perception. Witnesses flock to shorelines with cameras, capturing fleeting phenomena, metaphors for mutability. Driftwood beings with whispers, shadows only noticed after dusk's water retreat. Science seeks but finds only reflection here.
Amongst the chaos, echoes offer solace amidst restlessness. Researchers tape microphones to fleeting vignettes, bottling sound unseen — the trickster’s liquid laugh. Are we collecting data or trespassing into antiquity? Each wave fades into vapor — spectral music querying dreams at shore's edge. Some propose conservation. Others, conversation with tides.
The tides retain celestial narratives far from pedestals we maintain. Relic voices whisper cautions: both statuette and sable continue observing. Lighthouses blinking like remorseful constellations. Next meeting: committee without abode, listening rooms lacking ladders. Coastal whispers address the unattainable now — the distant present opening only ephemeral doors.
