Missing

by Linda Cargill

Phillip was gone. He had been Miranda's best friend. She couldn't get over thinking about how he had gone out to sea in that boat and never returned. Not that it was atypical in this tiny village on the Oregon Coast that made a living out of fishing and fishermen. But when a bottle washes ashore, a tiny glass float, Miranda can't help but keep it next to her bed. It makes her think of him. She likes to imagine he put a note in it for her, a note in a bottle, so that maybe someday he will come back to her.

But then she hears his voice. She thinks she must be going crazy or imagining things. Never is she more shocked to look down and see a tiny figure in the bottle who couldn't be more than three inches tall. Is that Phillip? How could it be possible? She must be dreaming, or this must be a nightmare.
