Title!
The story formerly known as "Peak of the Ocean" has officially gained a new title. I sent the short list to Julie last night, and she agreed with the one I'd said was my favourite: "A Prayer of Salt and Sand." I have to do a little bit of tweaking to the last scene to make this title really work for me, but I'm up to the challenge.
Huge thanks go to Timprov and M'ris who helped me with title suggestions on a tight deadline. (When all three of us came up with a title that involved salt and sand, I took it as a sign. Clearly, we are all genuises.)
