A pause. Then a single petal of lunar light pierced the water, opening a stairwell of coral and bone into the abyss.
The moon flower closed behind her like a mouth. If you’d like me to adjust the tone (more horror, more sci-fi, less melancholy, or age-rating appropriate for a different audience), or if “Mommy4K” is a specific existing series you’re referencing, just let me know. I can rewrite completely to match the exact vibe you need.
