Distance2/23/2023  The more she swims out of sight of land the less she knows, skinned by the scouring distance from her previous lives.
Depths2/16/2023  The cracks in her life have never been joined together. Her life has never been useful or agreeable. Her actions consign her father's faith and that of other men to the depths of the sea. Grief is not an ocean for her. Only a puddle.

The Shadow Staircase2/14/2023  - `Have you seen my daughter? She was crying. She's only a little girl.'
Her first disappearance left her mother distraught. She never recovered. Samaritan2/13/2023  In her suitcase she carries a photograph and a crab's claw. The photograph is of a girl saved by her from drowning. The closest she ever came to having children.

I cannot quite place her.'
