โ€œImagine you have gone down to the shore and there, amidst the other debrisโ€”the seaweed and rotten wood, the crushed cans and dead fishโ€” you find an unlikely looking bottle from the past. You bring it home and discover a message inside. This letter, so strange and disturbing, seems to have been making its way toward someone for a long time, and now that someone turns out to be you.โ€
