To Know The Sea

By Bryson Leon Young and Caleb Mapp

When Jesse embarks on a return voyage across the open ocean, he's placed under the command of a strange and seasoned Captain with stories as deep as the sea itself. What begins as a quiet trip back home devolves into a slow unraveling of reality, as Jesse confronts strange visions, ancient legends, and the suffocating grip of isolation.

The Captain speaks of gods and monsters, of Poseidon himself, of The Titan -- an impossible sea-beast whispered in sailors' myths. But are they real, or figments of Jesse's weakening psyche? As storms roll in and crewmates disappear into salt and shadow, Jesse finds himself at war with the sea, the Captain, and his slipping mind.

Letters scribbled by candlelight. Visions of ghost ships. A woman adrift who may not be what she seems. Gulls that scream like omens. And a boat that seems to breathe with its memories.

This psychological seafaring tale blends horror, poetic prose, and mythic storytelling into a claustrophobic journey through grief, guilt, and the quiet violence of time. To Know The Sea is not just a story of survival -- it's a story of what we become when no one is watching, when the horizon never ends, and when the sea begins to speak.
