Ryan's been acting weird. Too weird.
As soon as he left the apartment, I had a conversation with Jack about him.
"Ryan's been a little, you know, strange lately." I started.
"Of course he is. I overheard him talking about water in his sleep." Jack replied.
"He didn't even finish my pancakes! He just left. It was like he wasn't even there."
"We need to go find him."
"Agreed. I'll go."
I left the apartment and headed to the store. There were two stores nearby, I decided to go into the one on the left. Ryan did say he was looking for socks, so it would only make sense to check the clothes store first.
I went up and down the socks aisle seven times, before thinking that Ryan must be somewhere else. I checked all around the store, but Ryan was not in sight. Nowhere.
I checked the other store, same thing. Ryan was gone. Huh. He must have gone to another store. Oh well, I can't check every store in New York. I'd be gone for weeks.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the beach. I was going to do a trash cleanup later, but I decided to get it done early. I mean, why not?
However, while stepping onto the cold beach, I saw a man that looked oddly like Ryan. I mean, lots of people look like him, but that was Ryan. I knew it.
Seconds later, I saw him disappear into the water.
Wait...
The water.
Didn't Jack say something about Ryan and water? Strange. I saw an odd golden flash where Ryan was, before shifting my attention back to the many cans and bottles littered on the beach. I sighed, picking up my garbage bag and gloves.
I have a lot of work to do today.
