The Map of Small Disasters
adventure◐ Teen5 contributors · 3 paragraphs deep
Before chasing the sea, I searched Grandma's house. In her attic I found a locked tin box, and the key was taped under her old desk. Inside were letters, all addressed to me, all unsent. The top one was dated the year I was born.
Under the letters was a second map, smaller, with only the sea star on it. On the back was an address for a storage unit across town, and a key taped beside it. I grabbed my coat. Whatever Grandma was hiding, she'd left me a trail to follow.

A possible continuation
The storage unit held one thing: a small wooden boat, hand-built, with my name painted on the side. A note was tied to the bow. 'I built this for the day you'd be brave enough to find the sea star. Go see what's waiting. I'll be with you.' I started saving up for the trip.
