The ocean shifted; her sister’s
rose and slipped upward like a single creature. She followed, the old sister
just behind her, waiting for them to call her back, to hold her down to the
seafloor like they’d done when she first arrived and fought to break the
water’s surface for weeks and weeks. But no, it was time. She was several
months into her new life; she could be trusted to glimpse the old one. The
weight of the water above them grew less and less until . . .
Lo gasped, dry air filling her
lungs. It hurt, but she grinned and forced her eyes open despite the wind.
Wind-she remembered wind. Standing in a field near a tiny house, people behind
her, her family. When she first arrived
at the ocean, she would pick out the most beautiful shells from the ocean
floor, send them away in the waves, and hope her family would find them. She
would imagine they’d see them, know they were from her, know she was alive. .
.and now, she couldn’t remember their faces. She couldn’t even remember how
many family members she had. ( ARC pg 4)
