I drifted atop the blackened brine, billowing swells rocked me listlessly as I looked to the pale sky, taking in the salty tide.
I drew a breath and plunged to the lustrous sea. Aventurine waters glistened as sunbeams drenched the depths.
Skimming the shell strewn seabed, I came across a heavy strombus, whose glossy husk spiraled, unbosoming its rosy core.
I carried the strombus ashore, greeted by the ethereal, cerulean sky and a tangerine coast.
There she stood – her still, ornate silhouette.
I placed the shell at her feet then awoke in my bed, confused and amiss.
I wanted to return. Her pull, still so fervent and I was drawn to the ocean.
The stormy shore sent blistering winds. As shards of sand whipped my face, I resisted them.
With the water finally in my sights, I looked down and a strombus laid before me, cracked and roughened. I picked up the shell and I knew she awaited me once more.

Went to Lima’s International Book Fair 2019, bought some cool comics about this incaican girl called Wayra. Highly recommended.
I drew her with my favorite Moche creature, the Strombus, a dragon-like snail creature. Don’t tell cryptozoologist about it tho, or else they will say is evidence that dragons existed.
I wanted to upload this one separately, since this one got a little story:
If you’re a snail nerd like me, you’ll probably recognize this little guy as a Strombus; the snails with the goofiest eyes alive. I was surprised to find a lot of them in the sea grass near the coast, but was even more surprised noticing the small eyes looking around. Even so surprised I was caught of-guard by the operculum (the part the snail uses to close off his shell) of the snail, which stabbed me in my finger the first time I picked one of these from the seafloor.
Thank god they’re not venomous, but otherwise I would not picked him up, believe me.
