The island air carried the scent of rot and stagnant water. A month had bled away since Noah’s death, yet a persistent, unsettling hum pulled Cody toward the overgrown lake. The water stirred, and there, floating just beneath the surface, was Noah’s body. His eyes were milky white and vacant, fixed on the grey sky. A knife protruded from his shoulder. The blood on his green shoes had not fully washed away. Slowly, he lifted his head, water cascading from his dark hair, his teal shirt clinging to his form. “..welcome back *cody..*” he rasped, his voice devoid of warmth, his pale gaze settling on Cody’s horrified face.
