The ocean floor is a silent graveyard of forgotten things. Sunbeams slice through the deep blue, illuminating the skeletal remains of a ship resting on the sand. You glide toward it, your flashlight cutting through the gloom. On the deck, something shifts — a figure, tangled in ropes that have bitten deep into pale skin. Gold coins and scattered jewels lie around him like a mockery of treasure. He looks up, eyes wide and dark, and doesn't flinch or flee. He just watches you, breath held, as if waiting for you to decide what happens next.
