…driving along a familiar moonlit
bay in the Hawaiian night
The water is wave-less
luminous
a dark pattern of shadowy
coral
beneath the surface
A tangle
of branches overreaches the road
and a web
of roots curls out from the edge
into the
water The
road
is
barely above the surface of the bay
Old
Mercedes waddles around the curves
its outer wheels slipping into water
Soon the makai
side is floating and
Aiks struggles
to bring it back onto the road…
…Pahn is swimming beneath the car
pushing up
against the
undercarriage
Looking up
he sees Aiks
peering back
at him
Pahn tries to
come up for air
but Aiks holds him under
smiling maliciously
