Noticed

Usually, when we are enjoying our time on the beach, we stumble upon a lot of things in the sand and we do not pay much attention to any of it. But Denny did pay attention this time, and that was going to change a lot of things now. 

Stumbled

Denny Bland hit his toe on something very weird in looks, something never seen before. The object seemed very odd and that is why it caught Denny’s attention and he could not ignore it. What scary thing could a place as enjoyable as a beach hold? 

The Object

Bland picked up the object and couldn’t understand what it was. He could not really understand the importance and the relevance of it. And if Denny would have known what it was, he would have run away for his life at that very moment. 

Similar?

Bland looked closely and tried to figure out what the object was. At first, it looked like a fragment of driftwood to him, and he thought that was it. But Denny was not satisfied with his conclusion and decided to look further into it. 

Mistaken

Denny was unsatisfied with his conclusion of the object being driftwood and he would have actually been mistaken if he would have thought of it as that and not decided to search further. So much was going to unveil because of Denny’s discovery. 

Hints

It seemed as if something very big and frightening was lurking in the water of the North Topsail Beach. And hints were given every now and then by the never-seen-like-before object that people had been discovering at the shore of the beach every now and then.
