An elderly man named Thomas Hale approached Lena one evening.“You’re looking in the wrong direction,” he said.
He spoke of old fishermen’s tales—stories passed down but never written.
Of a creature in the bay.
Not a dolphin.
Something older.
Something that wore the shape of one.
“They called it the Smiling Tide,” Thomas said. “It mimics. Learns. Draws you in.”
Lena frowned. “That’s folklore.”
Thomas shook his head. “So was the ocean, once.”
