thinking of ocean themed stories. the call of summer. but like…gray, stormy seas…the water turned so dark you can’t even fathom the depths that lay below…flashes of lightning that are only a second but rob your sight, thunder so loud it leaves you deaf, the heave of the waves and blot of the clouds throw you and your boat with no sense of direction, no care for gravity, no separation from what is sea and what is the sky…give me summer in all her cold, biting, howling fury, biting rain and stinging salt and the horrors of a sea in full rage

#horror is often in like #creepy forests and haunted mansions but #The potential of maritime horror #The POTENTIAL #summer horror at the mercy of the sea and her eldritch depths DESERVES exploration #no copouts with ghost ships or sea monsters or Dave Jones #I’m talking you the sea and the elements holding you at complete mercy #As you contemplate the ephemerality of life and the meaningless struggle of humanity’s attempts to take and harness nature #Psychological ocean horror basically #Like creepy fae and witch maritime horror is cool too but like y’know #Want to be left thinking about what is man when left to the mercy of the sea and rain
