When Adam came to, it was with the taste of saltwater on
his tongue. He lay on his side, sea lapping against his lips. The sand warmed
his cheek on one side, the sun warmed the other.
When he had awoken fully, he dredged himself up onto the
shore and puked, vomiting up a gut full of briny water. He wiped the sand and
spittle from his mouth, stood, and looked around.
The beach was featureless. Its white sand stood between the
water and a wall of tall, thick foliage. It was silent other than the lapping
of the sea.
