The situation
At the busy beach, your mum nipped to the toilets and asked you to keep an eye on your little brother for two minutes. You looked at your phone for what felt like seconds — and when you looked up, he was gone. Not next to you, not at the water's edge you can see, just... not there. The crowd is huge, the sea is right there, and panic floods up your throat. You have to do something, fast, and your mind is a blur.
