#Seahenge by @thecreativepenn

By Pamelascott

What was drowned will be drowned again...

Marine archaeologist Dr. Evelyn Price has spent her life uncovering the mysteries of the deep ocean. But when a violent storm uncovers an ancient timber circle off the coast of England, she faces a discovery that will challenge everything she knows.

As the tide rises and storm clouds gather, Evelyn and her team race against time to decipher the strange symbols on the wooden pillars, before the sea comes to claim its own once more.

Seahenge is a gripping archaeological short story that blends cutting-edge science with ancient myth. It will leave you questioning what really lies beneath the waves..

The North Sea churned along the Norfolk coast, a vast cauldron of slate-grey water whipped to a frenzy by the howling wind (1).

I'm a huge fan of the author and jumped at the chance to read her new short story, Seahenge. I'd no idea the monument was a real thing until I'd finished the story and read the author's afterward. I enjoyed this story a lot. It's well written and engaging. I also wanted it to be a longer piece of writing which I suppose is a good thing. I loved the myth hinted at in the story and the clash between ancient and modern. I'd recommend this.
