Deadly Reunion (2013)
“I stood among the thickening crowd in the crispy cold, trying to hold onto a surreal feeling of interest but not attachment. A sharp wind whipped against us. Our ship had stopped between assorted jagged dots of ice. A platform flapped open at the ship’s bottom.
Passengers around me quieted.
I wished I’d brought my phone, yet even as I heard people speaking on theirs and saw them snapping pictures, I could not ask to use one. My interest and concern speared in on the person in the water. If Gil ...or one of my school friends was not in his or her room, I did not want to know.
Most people on this ship would be aware of this tragic event by now. They’d be standing on their balconies and various decks with outside walkways to watch what transpired. I’d want to watch unfolding events from a lower deck but could not tear myself away from the rail. The elevators must be filled, taking lots of time. I wished I were in shape to run down flights of stairs.
The sound of a small motor came to life.MoreLess
