Kate repeated the phrase over and over, you're gonna need better shoes, a mantra to release the guilt she's feeling. As if the words have the power to make what she's doing seem okay.

She moved slow, deliberately, the sand sinking beneath her light steps as she created a path through the bodies, keeping the rising nausea at bay by breathing through her mouth, by avoiding their faces. Eyes swept over legs and feet instead, looking for the perfect fit.

Survival.
