The Imaginary Waves

Write a story about a coastal town where the ocean waves are believed to be imaginary, even though they can be touched, heard, and seen.

In this world, is the sea something feared or cherished? What happens to those who choose to swim, fish, or live by this “imaginary” ocean? This prompt explores the theme of denial and acceptance regarding magic in the ordinary. It encourages the exploration of the human ability to dismiss what is inconsistent with established beliefs.
