>a dead child, rocked by waves, seemed to gesture to me. When i saw him, I understood that there was but one way in which i might expiate what I had done. A wave beckoned, the dead boy beckoned, and even as i told myself i lacked the will to take my own life, I felt the gunwale slipping from my hands
>water closed over me, yet I did not drown.
