Just printed this out for the bedside, sounds like the stuff of nightmares:
Swept out to sea by a riptide, a father and his 12-year-old son struggle to stay alive miles from shore. As night falls, with no rescue imminent, the dad comes to a devastating realization: If they remain together, they’ll drown together.
No idea how it ends. Read at your own risk. (via kottke)
