The ride is quiet. The
smell of the ocean fills their nostrils as they approach the beach. Jayce parks and has Ben look in the glovebox
for a book of matches.
“Well . . . let’s go find some wood.” Ty suggests after Ben
finds the matches.
Ben and Ty follow Jayce as they scour the beach looking for
driftwood. Ty shines the small light on
his phone back and forth. Pieces of
drift wood lie scattered along the shore and the men load their arms up as they
walk. Returning to where they had started,
they drop the wood onto the sand.
Shortly after the fire is lit, Paul arrives with the beer. Andre arrives shortly after him with Pat, Anne
and Adam. After a stroll down the
pathway, they all take a seat in the sand around the fire and one by one they
all kick off their shoes. Paul begins to
pass around the beer. They raise their
beer, and toast to staying alive. Ty
finishes his beer and asks Paul to help him find more firewood as the fire
begins to dwindle.
Anne watches as the men disappear into the darkness, her
concentration is interrupted as Jayce’s phone begins to ring.
