This is exquisite: "They now exist as nothing but distant footprints of former lives stamped into the rubble of the violent shore, which rolls a wave over one of them and drags it into the ocean like it’s feeding an invisible leviathan."

Also, the tear "strolling down" is very satisfying.

Don't know if you've ever seen the episode "CONTINGENCY" from the "Local 58" analog horror series, but this reminds me a lot of that.

And, yeah, I think there's a lot of people right now who'd do whatever the government told them, ridiculous as it sounded.
