The Surfer, Fish, and Sea
A series of short stories
Surfer
Every day, a surfer paddles out to sea, in search of “the one,” that perfect wave. Day in, and day out; day in, and day out; a melody of surf and sea. Until one day, she catches a flawless barrel and takes it on an unforgettable ride.
Fisherman
A man fishes in solitude; surrounded by a light fog. Hour after hour, time passes by; patience. Then, the rod snaps. As the reel spins, it hisses. The sun is a spotlight; the battle, a metaphor.
Sea
A soft splash gently breaks the water’s surface. In an instant, it disappears towards the ocean’s deep. Today, a feeding frenzy transitions into an afternoon nap. Tomorrow, back again. Only taking what it needs, and nothing more.
Snorkeler
Time slows; floating. For a moment, you forget your coordinates.
