SUMMARY
The cathedral rises out of the sea. Out there in the distance, it strikes an imposing presence as sheets of thick mist swirl around its vast stone perimeter. Though weathered and eroded, it has retained its elegance from a distant past, as the echoes of the church bells ring subtly through its empty grandiose halls. The cathedral’s presence is ephemeral, however, and soon enough, the sea once again reclaims this hidden treasure as its own — until it perhaps emerges again someday.
