Hidden in Plain Sight

There I stood. At the edge of the dock. The loud thrashing of the waves moving around below my feet. The water moving at a rapid pace; flowing over and around the fallen body. His body. The tattered clothing of his swaying against the current as they barely held against his skin; as if to be holding on for dear life, afraid to become lost amidst the darkness of the ocean forever. My thoughts moving rapidly throughout my mind.

What did you do? Why did you do it?

Did you really think you'd get away with this?

There I stood. My eyes watching slowly as the waves slowly guided his body out towards the far sea. Goodbye, Thomas. You'll be dearly missed... or would you?
