This is incredibly well written, with a very specific lyrical and dreamlike style. I liked the slow motion desperation of the bits with Rorschach trying to get Dan out of the water, how long and ardous it was. I liked the description of the blue lips and the salty smell - loved the bit about sea water being full of decay, was thinking of David Attenbourgh (i know, i'm gegging in on the nature documentary similie of the above reveiwer, lol).
Lovely, lovely story. Well done, sir.
