I took a draw from the cigarette and asked, “Do you recall those birds?”

“Birds?” she asked while looking stunned. Yet, I saw something briefly in her eyes, so I figured she must have known something about the birds.

I nodded and continued, “That’s right. The birds we saw that day on the ship; those black-colored, strange-looking water birds. I’ve never seen those birds anywhere else and couldn’t even find them online.”
