Flares, smoke and dye, and other people’s distress signals
35 min
A September evening on a coastal path. The sun has gone and the sea is turning grey. Far out, low over the water, a red light climbs, hangs, and drifts slowly down. Then nothing. A firework? A sky lantern from a wedding? You keep walking, then stop. You are probably not the only person who saw it. You might be the only one who calls.
