They found the foot on the beach the morning after the first winter storm.

It was the dog that found it, really—the dog who caught the scent of something meaty and rotten, and strained at the leash until Hannah let him loose. There was no one on the rocky shore but the three of them anyhow, Hannah and Dave and Benji, no one to be bothered by the mutt as he ran snuffling through the sea-wrack.

The storm had delivered a new crop of driftwood, heaved it up above the tideline like the bleached bones of some monstrous beast.

“It looks like a dragon, see?” Hannah said, but Dave had already slipped off into the fog, slouching along in the dog’s wake, with his head down and fists jammed in the pockets of his jeans. He hadn’t really wanted to come to the beach that morning.
