Day 1,386

They closed half the pier off last year and began to build. The rest of the pier seemed to collect all the dust and debris from the construction site and left everything grey-tinged and painfully rough to the touch. They claimed it was all new rides but whatever they're building looks more like an elaborate lobster trap.

I reckon it has something to do with the fishers who go missing from the peak, that thin segment they camp out on has never been particularly stable but over the past few years it's like they're just jumping off at any chance they get.

Some blame heavy fish and weak arms, others are saying something from the deep has come close to the shore to die and its feeding on whatever it can before it comes to an end. Most seem to agree that if there are no bodies then its entirely possible that the missing people hopped onto their boats and fled to warmer shores.

It still doesn't explain the strange markings that have been found along the tide-line first thing in the morning. It almost looks like human hands, if humans had twelve finger joints and bio-luminescent scales. The word "mermaid" has been thrown around but again, nothing concrete.

Still, the pier owners must know something if they're making a trap for it.

My best guess is that we'll be the bait.
