Find stillness beside the sea, where chapel bells echo and ancient songs hum beneath the cliffs.

This meditative sleep story invites you into a quiet coastal world of tide, memory, and presence. As dusk settles over a fishing village and the chapel glows softly on the rocks above, a boy begins to hear something ancient stirring beneath the stone — a resonance older than language, as gentle as the sea.

Crafted as a bedtime story for adults, this tale offers no urgency, no conflict. Just breath, rhythm, and the slow unfolding of awareness. Designed for sleep stories for adults, gentle fantasy, and emotionally grounding nighttime listening, this poetic story offers a moment of quiet when the day has said too much.

Here, grief is not resolved. It’s listened to. Here, the sea speaks in tides, and the chapel holds the weight of memory. If you enjoy poetic storytelling, soft sensory imagery, and stories that feel more like tide than plot, this experience was written for you.

A work of short fiction for sleep, The Whale Beneath the Chapel is part of the Before Your Dream collection—calming stories created for slow evenings and tender minds. Let the hum rise from the cliffs. Let the whale remain just beneath the surface. Let the night carry you home.
