Startled, the man recoiled and instinctively covered his mouth with his hand. He stood there for several seconds, unable to believe what he was seeing.

Later, when experts arrived, they determined that the coffin was almost a hundred years old. It had likely ended up in the sea after the wreck of an old ship. Currents and storms had carried it for decades across the waves until it finally washed ashore here.

The story spread instantly throughout the area. People whispered, speaking about the sea’s mystery and the fate of the deceased. For the fisherman, that day became the most unusual of his life.

It seemed as if the sea itself had decided to reveal to him an ancient secret, hidden in the depths of time.
