Salt Sea Myth

A woman had been choked by her man two days earlier and left for dead in a hot desert. When she woke, the thirst was overwhelming. So she ventured out to the seas, not heeding the warnings of the drying salt. She walked up to the body, commanding and vast. And with the sand beneath her feet, she leapt into the biggest wave and gulped. She gulped and gulped, but her thirst was not satisfied. She swallowed water and fish and ships and kelp. She kept drinking until the sea was no longer a sea, but a mound of salt.
