Noirvember - The Daily Catch

1 - Early morning. A fishing boat lists to one side as its occupants (and their crane) pull a big net of fish out of the water.

2 - The crane moves the net of fish over the boat's deck. A woman stands below, helping to guide it. One of her colleagues looks up at the haul, a squint and puzzled look on their face.

COLLEAGUE (quietly): Is that...?

3 - The net is opened up and the fish pour onto the deck.

SFX: splrt!

4 - The pile of fish is all over the deck. A dead body lies in the midst of the pile, some fish nearby flopping about it. The colleague puts a hand to their face, ill at the sight; the woman is holding a satellite phone to her ear.

WOMAN: Yes, could you connect me to the police?
