Surrender At Dawn
“Phosphorescent particles swirl around. Fish dart by, leaving little glowing trails in their wake. Jack loved the ocean, and normally it was one of those weird nature shows that he really appreciated. But when embarking on a mission it was fucking distracting.
About forty yards from the shore, he surfaced and filled his lungs. Then it was a straight shot underwater until turbulence told him he’d neared land.

He crouched at the base of a coconut palm, motionless for a moment as he got his bearings. Noise from the Quonset huts on the shore. The hum of one--no, make it two separate generators. Nothing but silence and shadows behind him.
Jack slipped into the darkness without a sound. The terrain went from flat, to steep, to nearly vertical, and he used branches and tree roots to haul himself up the hillside.MoreLess
