Three days lost to the hunger and the heaving sea, you finally let your head fall back, yielding to the void. A sudden, icy splash shocks your face. You lift your head, saltwater stinging your eyes, to find a gleaming fish beside you on the damp wood. The water’s surface shivers with fading rings. Deep in the green-blue gloom, for one impossible moment, you see a stream of pale blonde hair swirl like silk before it disappears into the deep. And from that dawn onward, you never wake to an empty shore; each morning, the sea leaves you a silent, silver gift.
