A.C. McAnelly

I was so scared and confused.

I trusted my aunt enough to do what she asked, but if I didn't get any answers soon, I was going to the cops.

The light in the water glimmered for a bit longer, but the couple on the beach either didn't see it or ignored it.

They kept carrying on laughing and having a good time.

The light dimmed, but also transformed.

It almost looked like... like a body was floating face down in the water with the light shining on it.

If I hadn't seen the light there before, I'd have thought the rising moon was reflecting off the pale body.

The laughing died around the campfire.

They stood up and started pointing.

The guy quickly took off his shirt and shoes and swam for the body while the girl grabbed her phone to call for help.

My heart dropped to my stomach when she said that.

What do you mean I can't do anything?

See for yourself.

I watched as the guy made his way to try to save or at least bring back the body floating on the waves.

But about 10 feet away from the body, he stopped.

He stopped and started screaming and was pulled under.

He and the body both disappeared.

The girl started screaming for her boyfriend, Jake or Jack, maybe.

I couldn't quite make it out from where I was standing.

She threw sand over the fire to put it out and started running up to the road.
