Winter Beach Holiday

Iris stood at the edge of the coastal town. The once-vibrant seaside was now a frozen tableau, a haunting reminder of a forgotten time. Palm trees, their leaves encased in ice, stood like silent sentinels, their branches outstretched towards the frozen sky. A colossal whale, its body suspended in mid-air, seemed to defy the laws of nature.

As she wandered through the desolate town, she stumbled upon a local legend. A tale of a man, a stranger with a striking resemblance to her husband, who had set sail from this very coast to a #cursed-lighthouse, broke the curse and freed the town confined inside it. The man was then known as Urashima Taro.

That story resonated with Iris. She wondered if her husband, too, was destined for a heroic journey, a quest to break the chains of fate. As she stood there, the wind whipping through her hair, she couldn't shake the feeling that their paths were intertwined, their destinies forever linked.
