There are towns in New Jersey where the houses sit along lagoons, instead of streets. The lagoons feed into the bay, which feeds into the Atlantic Ocean, which is why the lagoons are filled with fish and crabs, and sometimes, if you’re lucky, turtles.

She’s breathless and struggling along behind me, but at least she’s stopped crying.
She thinks I’m going to save her. When I’m sending her to a fate worse than the seven hells.
But sometimes we must pay a terrible price to protect the things we love.
