Description

On August 10, 2021, Emma, a woman in her early 20s living in the south of Costa Rica, goes surfing and swims out into the ocean. Everything appears to be normal until she discovers a swarm of king crabs, red and filled with spikes. Emma says to herself, “Huh, I thought these only existed in Alaska.” As Emma is heading back home after the surfing session, a 20-minute car ride up into the mountains, she notices a mysterious man dressed in all black with a trench coat. She thinks, "It's summer, why the trench coat?". Emma slows down to investigate and realizes the man is painting. She squints her eyes and, in disbelief, realizes that he’s painting a King Crab. Emma wakes up the following morning to attend her 10 a.m. biology class; Emma arrives at the university and settles into the lecture hall; "Open to page 222," the professor says, and to her surprise, it's an anatomical illustration of a King Crab; Emma is terrified and storms out of the hall. It’s now the third night since the dream, Emma falls asleep and starts drifting into a series of weird dreams. She’s underwater, and her pupils dilate as she approaches a gigantic divine creature. An overwhelming wave of emotions and feelings washes over her. It is the King Crab. Emma wakes up erratically and says, "It's all connected; the ocean, the book, the mysterious man on the side of the road; it's all part of something larger; it's calling to me." The last thing Emma left was a note for her roommate that said, “I have returned to nature.” Emma has been reported missing ever since.
