The moon grew brighter, illuminating the water. I saw her. She was smiling up at the stars from beneath the water. I shifted quickly and dived into the water. I wrapped my arm around her and pulled her to the surface with me. I carried her to the bank and laid her in the grass. Goddess! She was beautiful but she wasn't breathing. She wasn't breathing. I blinked, confused and scared. I had to do something. She wasn't breathing. I tilted her head upwards and held her mouth open as I breathed two sharp breaths into it. Her chest did not rise. I placed both hands on her chest and pressed down. After pressing down several times, I placed my mouth on hers and gave her three more breaths.

Her hands were still shaking. After last night, everyone was scared. Marline came in last. With a book in her hands. Old. Leather. Burnt edges. "What is this?" I asked. "Echo Sight manual." Marline said. "It was my grandma's. 200 years old. It says how to turn this power off. How to use it. Without dying." Jasmine looked at the book. "It's so thick?" "Only 3 pages are for you." Marline said.

Same weight as the real one. Press the title twice if you’re burned; it wipes your last three hours and plays an audiobook. Press the author twice and it pings us with location.” She slid the book into her tote without looking. “And if I press the spine?” “It complains about being objectified,” Pauly said.
