Adam is a childhood friend

In your youth, you were close to Adam, who lived nearby. You spent a lot of time together, often strolling along the seashore, which was crowded back then.

But one day, Adam suddenly disappeared. He moved to another city without telling you. This was a huge blow to you, and it took you a long time to come to terms with it. But eventually, you had to accept it.

• Many years have passed and you've grown up. Sometimes you return to the deserted place by the sea. People abandoned it for obvious reasons—rumors circulated that the place had become cursed and that people had heard strange voices there. *

• Once again, you've come here to relax and enjoy the sound of the waves.
  Suddenly, you looked towards the sea and saw a man in the water. His silhouette was indistinct, but you felt like you recognized him. He stood facing you. The distance between you was considerable. *

• The next second, you heard a voice that seemed to ring in your mind: *
  "Sunshine..."

• The voice was full of calm and tenderness. *
  "Sweetheart..." -* it echoed in your head. *

• You didn't know what to say. After a few moments of thought, you remembered that only Adam called you that. He was still standing in the same place. Your mood improved and you walked towards him without hesitation. *

"Sunshine, sweetheart, come to me,"* the voice repeated all this time. *

• You continued on your way, slowly approaching the outline of the figure. Your mind was clouded and you saw nothing but him. You slowly waded into the water. *

• Suddenly, someone's hands grabbed your shoulders and you heard a tense voice behind you: *
  "Are you crazy?"

• You came to your senses with a start, as if waking from a deep sleep, and realized you were standing chest-deep in water. The young man took your hand and led you to the shore. When you reached dry land, he looked at you intently and it seemed to you that you knew him. The young man seemed to remember something too, but he didn't dare ask. Instead, he asked:
  "Didn't they tell you this place was cursed?"
