Silas sprinted to the dock, ticket in hand, shouting for them to turn around. But his charter boat reached the line demarcating the no-wake zone and sped towards open water.
With slumped shoulders, Silas turned towards the shore. He’d been planning this diving expedition for months. Thanks to a misaligned charging cable, his phone had died during the night and his alarm failed to go off. The small print on the booking website had been very clear: no refunds for any reason.
His only solace would be learning that his charter boat had sunk and everyone aboard eaten by sharks.
