Live in BCS #453: "The Sea Child" by Justin Wesley Ferguson.
"Gerda did not like being by the sea. The urge that had drawn her here on the anniversary had been the need to acknowledge, to mark in some way, the significance of that day, to tell the sea that she remembered what it had stolen from her—and to give it the opportunity to finish the work it had left undone, even if she had to force it to."
