Missing

           The bottle blinked out from the crevice where the tide had dumped it. As I gingerly eased the paper out
           it pulped into a mish-mash of dying half-words:
                                                       ...OS...   ...MUDA...   ...ber 194...
                                                       ...uck...   torp..o...   ...feboa...   ...inki...
           I hovered, frowning. High up in the rocks, children's laughter rang out like church bells.
