body count

Because of the winds and waves generated by the hurricane all the bodies previously washed out to sea ended up at our little beach in New Jersey. We are a small town and did not have the manpower to properly handle the hundreds of floating bodies displayed in the ocean in the moonlit glow of pre-dawn.
The waves gently and eerily rocked the bodies back and force. Being one of the few volunteers I proceeded cautiously toward the shoreline and began to retrieve the floating bodies of our neighbors to the South who had been washed to sea by the hurricane surge.
