  • A treehouse for Shelby

    Four smashed, mottled cadavers washed up on the remote beach, while three more ebbed with the tide’s edge. The sun glared over the horizon casting light across the pale cream sand.

    It was exactly 2:38pm when Catherine Gerrard alighted the black conventional taxi that had driven her straight from the airport. With her luggage in hand she stood at the main gate of the resort watching two security officers each holding a metal detector conduct a mandatory search on her.
