The line was drawn in the wet sand with a gnarled stick they found in the dunes. Neither of them really believed it would make any difference but they were prepared to try anything that might lead to them being found. Their ears were filled with the thundering waves, whining wind and screaming gulls. Their fingers were numb with the cold spray, yet they continued their task with grim determination.
It was done. A huge letter ‘H’ reached out from their feet, calling to the skies, for any flying object to notice. Tomorrow it would be gone. They’d have to do it all again.
