What is recorded here
Oileán Lachan is an islet in County Galway, Ireland. Perhaps the sea breathed it into existence and withdrew again, leaving behind a stone ribbon where herons still land. Maybe the name belongs to a boy who drowned young and the island is his shadow, stretching across the water at low tide. Imagine standing on its edge at dusk, hearing a child laugh in the wind, knowing the ocean keeps what it takes.
