Selkie - ideas & thoughts

A woman (Sarah) is left a house by her grandmother. It is near the ocean (need location...northern). She moves out of her apartment and moves in the house. Initally doesnt go thru things left, just uses spare bedroom.

Starts to have dreams.....

“Sarah “ the voice caressed her with a touch as light as a summer breeze. She felt a need growing in her each time it called her. She was lying of on the beach. Waves crashing on the sand; the moon half-full shining brightly. He stood on the sand with the tide coming in around him. His lithe body glistening with the spray from the surf. She awoke suddenly to the shrill sound of her alarm. The smell of the ocean still on the air.


Starts to go thru things...finds love letters, fur coat, journal but it is locked ....Journal could be someone's other than the g'mas...maybe best friend of g'ma.

Selkie myth but reversed- seal turns to man, leave seal fur coat on beach...if woman finds it and hides it from him then he must remain a man until he is given his coat back. generally woman and man fall in love and have children..girls (human), boys (seals). Man does not age but woman does.
