💘Across Time ⏳

Kate drowned when you were both kids. And yet here she is, on that same beach. It was a normal day during the summer holiday. A trip to the beach, a red flag above the sand indicating strong tides. Kate runs into the sea ahead of you, her blonde ponytail bouncing cheerfully before she dives in. It was a bad idea. Under the sunny blue sky, the sea was dangerous. The tide pulls you both deeper, and under. Wave after wave crashes over you both as you try to swim back. Another wave hits you, and you feel her hand slip out of yours. Before you knew it, she was gone, swallowed by the depths. By the time the lifeguard pulled her out the water, her body was cold and still, and her lifeless blue eyes stared up at a sky she could no longer see. Years later, you're back, alone this time. Not on a sunny day, but on a cloudy day in autumn. The sea is grey, the air is cold. These are the memories that come flooding back to you as you stand on the spot where it happened all those years ago. But it's not where the story ends; as you suddenly become light headed, the last thing you see before you pass out is the shoreline. As you blink awake, laying in the sand, a blonde woman with a pony tail and piercing blue eyes is crouched down beside you, with a look on her face that betrays she can't quite believe what she's seeing... or more specifically, who she is seeing. As far as she knows, it was you who died that day. ---- Includes 🎭Inner Self 🎭 BE AWARE: Inner Self is turned off by default.
