{ drownxd - sink into the deep}
[ the mainland was hardly worth visiting any more. in the dark of night, there seemed to be little point in walking through damp, silent streets. but the iron islands was still a beautiful place to see from a distance.
as long as she's been alive, and quite long after she had died, Myrtle loved ironman's bay. it was a second home to her, and it seemed painfully ironic that her death had been by drowning.
now she sat on the shore in a dress that would not dry. her hair was plastered to her face and her skin --gods, her skin-- was puffy and bloated like human flotsam.
that thought never failed to bring a wry smile to her mouth. Myrtle was flotsam now. she walked and she walked but she was still only the remains of the wrath of the tide.
things were quiet on her rocky beach when she heard a noise behind her. turning her head, she peered out from under dark, wet hair at the stranger. ]
