    Summary

    Tell your tears to the sea, at the turn of the tide,

    Old love shall return, sure as hot tears are cried,

    The sea’s often cruel, but perhaps she’ll be kind,

    So barter your tears for what you left behind.

    Seven tears are what’s needed so seven tears you will give,

    One mourns for the dead and one mourns those that live,

    One for loss, one for gain, one for future and one for past,

    And one final tear to make your love last.

    When Jon and Martin arrive somewhere else, they hit the water. Martin makes it. Jon doesn't. But that's not the end of the story.

    Based on the idea that selkies are the souls of the drowned. A story of grief, healing, and acceptance.

    Summary

    Flies by Martin K. Blackwood, read the first page.

    Ah. So, poetry, then. Disappointing. Well, it could still yield results. Jon obviously wasn’t hoping to get a piece of paper saying “I killed Gertrude,” but he was still looking for something concrete. He’d never been good at analyzing metaphor.

    =

    Jon rifles through the poetry Martin threw away and learns some things he'd rather not. Conclusions are jumped to.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Everything in here is gold, but the dynamic between Jon and Gerry is the best!
