Sandcastle — Risen Archive comic no. 016, all panels

Bigger. Higher. Even bigger. I know how that voice sounds because it’s mine, and it never actually arrives anywhere, since there’s always one more level to add before I’m allowed to stop. I did finish it, for about a minute. Long enough to stand on top and want someone to see. The tide isn’t cruel in this one. It just does what tide does, and the castle was only ever sand regardless of how high I stacked it. “And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever.” — 1 John 2:17 What are you currently building that’s made of sand?
