Oh, so tragic...but beautiful (and somehow almost happy?) at the same time...
It's so interesting how much attention is drawn to the old white towel next to the sink...I thought it was the coat at first lol
I wonder if I will ever see this in the magazine (either in the Letterbox or published) There was a selkie story there a few magazines back already (and i don't like to compare but I like yours better, honestly--partly bc it's just the right length and is just rich with details)

Thank you so much :)) That's exactly the effect I was going for, tragic but beautiful. I'm really glad I managed to convey that.
I put in the white towel as a way to emphasize the atmosphere of the kitchen and the way things haven't changed there, even after so many years. Interesting to see your interpretation!
Ooh, I'd love to see this story published. Eventually, when I'm old enough, I want to submit stories to be published in Cricket, so perhaps...
Anyway, thank you for reading along and commenting! It means so much to me, and I'm so glad you enjoyed it <33
