Siren
“A mile or a thousand away, the horizon slipped down to close the gray of the day in a perfect kiss. In between—in between—was the horror. Two pale young hands reached out from churning turmoil, two hands without a face grasping at the gray sky for air. Evan stood rooted to the beach, desperate to run into the angry waves to grab those hands, to pull them out of the maelstrom, but somehow, his feet wouldn’t listen. They remained rooted to the sand, trembling like jelly. With every attempt he mad...e to dash into the water, his legs locked and shivered and threatened to spill him to the beach. But they would not move forward.
