the archive at the edge of the known world

A Gallant's Castaway

found drifting past the last meridian — claimed by the light

waning crescent
sun in cancer
lighthouse keeper
moon in scorpio

★  from the witch at the end of the world  ★

The Witch has lived at the edge long enough to know that the sea does not end— it only changes what it is made of.

These waters run into stars.

You found this place. That means something.
The Witch does not believe in accidents at this longitude. Everything washed up here was meant to be kept. This is where the Witch keeps you.

the tide came in at an unnamed hour

The castaway arrived. The lighthouse was already lit.
Replace this with your own words when you are ready.
