Nesting against the northeast edge of the island was a lump of brown. The snow fell across the rise of some shoulders and rested there. Around the hocks was a tangle of sea weed. The tide pulsed at the lump that was the body and shoved it further up the beach.
As the water receded it dragged bits of rock with it; a log left teetering on some of the well rooted boulders, a piece of plastic that might have once been a container of detergent before the sea had its way with it, and a string of barnacle encrusted fishing line wrapped around some smaller pieces of wood.
It looked like a ship wreck — but no two pieces of debris fit with the other, they had all been carried here by the will of an ill tide.
