  The tunnel ends abruptly here, its rocky floor falling sharply away to the pounding sea. Wide gaps in the stones above allow in just enough light to clearly see the masses of barnacles clustered around fissures in the stones and the slippery green algae on the tunnel floor that makes the footing treacherous.
  
  Near the opening, half covered in algae, is a flattened stone standing somewhat apart from the rest.
  
  A wave crashes against the rocks below sending a shower of spray up high into the air. You watch as the rest of the wave continues its course toward the coast, past jagged offshore rocks jutting up from the sea, only to die upon the barren shore.
  
  > go south
  Holding your breath, you turn sideways and squeeze past the tunnel's narrowest point to check on the tide. Finding the way to the beach still free, but not anxious to go back out into the rain, you reluctantly return to the northern end of the tunnel where you can stay somewhat drier.
  
  > Go north
  Standing at the edge of the tunnel, peering down at the sea as it surges past, you quickly realize the only way out this direction is to jump.
  
  > eat the barnacles
  You wonder if they taste more like mussels or abalone, but as you are unable to get them off the rock, you will probably never know.

  > examine the sea
  Overshaddowed by the clouds, the sea is an unrelieved blue gray.
  
  > Search wave
  After a moments thought you realize the surf is too far away.
  
  > look at the rain
  The rain is quite heavy now, composed of large drops falling hard and fast.

  > examine the algae
  Mostly deep green, though some patches are nearly black while others are a deep shade of red.
  
  > examine the stone
  You scrap off the algae from the flattened stone, revealing a heavily eroded outline of a heart cut into the rock. Inside the heart, carved in a childish hand, is the faded inscription "JS & AK". A lump forms in your throat and you swallow hard, trying in vain to shut your mind on old memories, still painful to recall.
  
  > remember
  You remember back to the last time you were here, six long years ago. It seems like yesterday. You almost expect to see Jason come running through the tunnel, hair tossled by the wind. "Hey Amy," he would say, "look what I found!" Then he'd open his hand and show you some small treasure from the sea. They were worthless, they were beautiful, and they always made you smile. He always made you smile.

  > look at the shore
  Swept clear of sand by earlier winter storms, the rocky shores seem barren, inhospitable places, that even the birds pass by.
  
  > Go north
  Standing at the edge of the tunnel, peering down at the sea as it surges past, you quickly realize the only way out this direction is to jump.
  
  > look at the birds
  A wave crashes against the rocks below sending a shower of spray up high into the air.
  
  You look around but are unable to find that which you seek.
  
  > listen
  The relentless pounding of the sea echos through the tunnel.
  
  > Smell dress
  It is so new that it still smells like the dressmakers shop.
  
  A wave crashes against the rocks below sending a shower of spray up high into the air.
  
  > get bud
  You take the faded white rose bud out of the purse.
  
  > throw the bud in the the shore
  After a moments thought you realize the shore is too far away.
  
  A wave crashes against the rocks below sending a shower of spray up high into the air.
  
  > throw the bud in the the sea
  You gently kiss the faded blossom then toss it out onto the sea. "Rest in peace, Jason," you whisper as you watch it bob upon the water. Moments later it's caught up in the churning waves and pulled beneath the surface.
  
  "Amelia!" comes a cry from far above, barely audible over a sudden rush of water to the south. How long have you been in here? Looking up toward the cliffs you are surprised to see a familiar coach and four standing precariously close to the edge.
  
  "Ethan, get the horses back," you yell, cupping your hands around your mouth in a futile attempt to be heard. How did he know where to find you?
  
  "Amelia!" comes the cry again, this time more frantic.

  > remember
  The rushing sound from the southern end of the tunnel... it seems so familiar.
  
  A wave crashes against the rocks below sending a shower of spray up high into the air. You watch as the rest of the wave continues its course toward the coast, past jagged offshore rocks jutting up from the sea, only to die upon the barren shore.
  
  > go south
  The narrow opening of the sea tunnel looks out upon the beach, or what is left of it, for the tide has come in so far that some of the larger waves are spilling over the small rocks at the base of the cliffs.
  
  > remember
  You find yourself trembling as you look out at the wild sea. Six years ago you stood on this very spot and looked out at this same sea... but this time, you're alone.
  
  A wave crashes against the rocks below sending a shower of spray up high into the air. You watch as the rest of the wave continues its course toward the shore.
  
  > jump
  You freeze, just as you had six years ago. "Jump Amy, jump!" Jason had screamed in your ear as the waves slammed into the rocks, pouring water into the tunnel. How many times had you heard that scream in your dreams? How many times had you wished you had listened?
  
  > remember

  > go to the north
  Holding your breath, you turn sideways and squeeze past the tunnel's narrowest point, then hurry on to its northern end with the sea lapping at your heels.
  
  "Ethan, I'm here!" you scream as a wave enters the southern end of the tunnel, sweeping over your feet and pour out the northern end.

  > remember
  It's happening all over again, just like before, only this time Jason isn't here to help. What was he trying to tell you that day? You never could figure it out. The wind had been so strong, ripping the words out of his mouth and blowing them away. He finally grabbed your hand and gave it a squeeze, pointing up toward the narrow gap in the ceiling. You look up at the ceiling now, the gap seeming as unreachable as ever.
  
  A wave crashes against the rocks below sending a shower of spray up high into the air. You watch as the rest of the wave continues its course toward the coast, past jagged offshore rocks jutting up from the sea, only to die upon the barren shore.
  
  > Search gap
  The gaps are out of reach.
  
  A thick, swirling mass of water rushes in from the southern end of the tunnel and pours out the tunnel into the sea, nearly taking you with it.
  
  > examine the ceiling
  The ceiling is soaked.
  
  A wave crashes against the rocks below sending a shower of spray up high into the air.
  
  > Leave
  You blush when you realize that you aren't actually in anything.
  
  A thick, swirling mass of water rushes in from the southern end of the tunnel and pours out the tunnel into the sea, nearly taking you with it.
  
  > Go upward
  Just as you did six years before, you curl your finger around the pitted stone and attempt to haul yourself up the rocks. But this time Jason isn't there to push you the rest of the way up, and you slide back down.
  
  While you are preparing to try again, your hand is hit by a sturdy strap of leather tossed down from above.
  
  "Amelia, grab the rein," calls Ethan, his voice barely audible over the sound of the waves.
  
  Wrapping the rein around your hand, you once again scramble up the rocks. A moment later you find yourself standing on the rim of the tunnel, caught up in Ethans arms as he wraps his thick black cloak around you. Another wave sweeps through the tunnel at your feet, sending a shower of spray up high above your head. But the sea has no power over you now. This time there is no one left behind for it to claim.
  
  > check what you're carrying
  You are carrying a purse. You are wearing an engagement ring and a silk dress.
