Five friends on a beach at daybreak. Three are lovers. They are wrapped up warm to protect against the late November cold.

Jeremy carries the body in a plastic sheet. They have spent many hours arguing about this. The calmness of the sea is in stark contrast to the friend’s conflicting emotions. The sea cannot feel shame but it is good at keeping secrets. The friends are banking on this.

They take out their saws and chopping tools and begin their grisly work. This will soon be over for the dead infant. A wedding ring is left in the sand.

    This is a very gruesome story. However, it is very well told which makes it entertaining. Good work!
