They smell blood

NARRATOR:They smell blood, he\\u2019d heard.\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0

He flattened the peeling corners of the wet sticking plaster on his elbow, and\\xa0shivered. The coastline was still an unimaginable distance away.\\xa0

He curled his toes over the edge of the rotting raft that floated on polystyrene blocks, anchored to the seabed by slick, weed-choked chains, and risked a glimpse.\\xa0

Spectres circled beneath the surface. Each a streamlined torpedo of deathless hunger.\\xa0

Dizzy, he looked back towards\\xa0the scattered bodies, and\\xa0spotted his brother\\u2019s blue and white windbreak.\\xa0\\xa0

He slowed his breathing, adjusted his goggles, and stretched his arms out ahead of him.\\xa0
