Beneath the Ice
“Not by the gruesome sights—and there had been plenty of those—but by his failure to find a single survivor. So powerful was the crash that he had been unable even to find a whole body. Body parts—arms, legs, hunks of flesh—were abundant, but he’d seen nothing to give him a thread of hope to cling to.
Leaning into the rising wind, Perry looked into the faces of the others, each bearing the scars of shock. He made eye contact with each one but said nothing. Nothing could be said. It had been a fo...ol’s errand from the beginning, but it had been necessary.

Mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, and friends were a phone call away from horrific news—news that would leave a scar not even time could remove.MoreLess
