Later in the day I can't let the grime build. Not when the light needs to be pure. The lens is the only thing that matters. Clear. Perfect. Unobstructed. And the journal... the only map to this madness. Day 41... Day 42... Day 43... Day 44... Day 45... It's not just the sea. There's a pattern. A rhythm to the knocking. Day 44... Day 45... why did he stop writing? I will find out what wants in. And I will be ready. Next chapter is coming soon
