Salt spray stung Kai's cheeks as he hurled the pebble. It arced, hit the gray waves, skipped once – twice – then reversed, skimming back to his outstretched palm. The chill seeped into his skin, a prickling fire racing up his arm.

He dropped it, heart thudding against his ribs. The pier creaked under his sneakers, empty except for the gulls' distant cries. 'Trick of the light,' he muttered, shoving hands into his hoodie pockets. But the burn lingered, like embers under his nails.

At school next morning, the cafeteria buzzed with chatter. Kai poked at his tray, ignoring the whispers about the storm brewing offshore. His best friend Lena slid in beside him, eyes bright. 'Heard the old lighthouse is haunted again.' She grinned. Kai's fork froze mid-air – a flash hit him: waves crashing, wood splintering.

He grabbed her wrist. 'Don't go near the pier after dark.' She laughed it off, but his pulse hammered. That night, alone in his attic room, the window rattled. Outside, mist coiled like fingers. He pressed his palm to the glass; ripples spread outward, forming words: *Find me.* The scent of brine filled the air, thick as regret.

Dawn broke gray. Kai biked to the lighthouse, gravel crunching under tires. Vines choked the door, damp and pulsing faintly. Inside, shadows danced. A figure flickered – his father, lost at sea years ago, eyes like polished sea glass. 'You feel it now,' the apparition rasped, voice echoing in Kai's chest. 'The tide's call. It's in your blood.' Kai's knees buckled, the floor cold and slick.

He stumbled out, breath ragged, the burn now a steady glow under his skin. Gulls wheeled overhead, their cries sharpening into warnings. The horizon darkened, waves rising unnaturally high. Kai clenched his fists – power surged, pulling at him like undertow.

As thunder growled, he stepped toward the surf. The water parted slightly, revealing a glint below. Whispers rose in chorus, urgent, alive. What lay beneath waited – and it knew his name.
