I would really love the opportunity to work on this project as I have a strong passion for fiction writing and would love the chance to share my work with an audience. Please find a sample of my writing below:
When she was a child, May had visited the sea with her grandmother. She remembered how eager she had been to dip her feet into the ocean. To hear the thrill of the waves as the hurled themselves onto the shore in hope, it seemed, of making contact with skin, with flesh. Like a child intent on showing off a new toy, the tide would tug at May’s legs impatiently. “Follow me” it seemed to sigh as it clutched at her ankles. Yes, she had been eager for that interaction with the ocean and the lure of its secrets. Yet how strange then, when they arrived to find the tide so far out that it was barely visible to May at all. For miles the ocean was bare, devoid of water, devoid of sound. An oppressive stillness hung in the air, an indistinct ringing, like the ghostly echo of a long dead siren. The sea’s secrets lay open. Exposed. Naked. There was no treasure gleaming on bed, no coins, no relics of the distant past. Only black rocks covered the surface, occasionally interrupted by murky pools of water and fragmented splinters of seashells. The sea had been robbed of its power, like a magician slighted by a slight of hand; the mystique, the illusion was shattered. For hours May gazed at the tide, embarrassed almost.
Thank you for your time. I hope to hear from you.
