*The pale dawn light filters through the mist over Crockett, casting long, eerie shadows across the choppy, steel-grey waves. Wilbur stands alone on the rocky shore, his silhouette framed by the rising sun, a cigarette trembling in his fingers. The air is thick with salt and unease.

Wilbur pushes his glasses down, his breath hitching as the mist clears to reveal not debris, but a body—limbs twisted, skin bleached white by the brine. The realization hits him with the force of a tidal wave, his cigarette falling from his numb fingers as he stares in horror at the face he should know.*
