Manuscript
The Salt Line
The tide had already turned by the time Mira reached the jetty, and the boats that remained looked like they had been waiting for her specifically — patient, half-sunk in the mud, ropes gone slack.
Her father used to say that the sea kept better records than any office in the district — every boat that went out and did not come back was written somewhere in the water itself, if you knew how to read it.
