The cruel thing about the ocean is there is water everywhere, and none of it you can drink.

For several hours, the woman's body had lain motionless in the sand. One would have presumed her dead if it weren't for the steady rise and fall of her flank. The crows certainly thought so. They had pecked at her eyes and ears, laughed at her unfortunate demise as tufts of fur were plucked from her back to line their greedy nests. When she had finally gathered the strength to chase them away, she swore they spoke.

It was sunset by the time the she-wolf found the whale bones. They stood like pale monoliths against a bleeding sky and seemed to hum a whistling tune that called across the beach just for her. With each laborious step, the salt sat heavier in her gut and clawed the moisture from her skin. Still, she walked. As her breathing became shallow and her body burned, she collapsed besides a towering rib bone, crooning a low song for someone only she could see. Dehydration altered the mind in strange ways. It wasn't long before the gentle lapping of her tongue against its smooth surface lulled her into a feverish trance. And with the moon now casting the graveyard in an ethereal glow, the woman smiled.
