The ocean is deeper than the sky. The deep end of the ocean holds unseen and unknown monsters. But the greatest monsters are the humans who sail its waters. I am such a monster.
Twilight is seen on a huge yacht. A loaner from an old friend. He has a crew managing it. He doesnt know much about sailing. And truth be told he is a little afraid of the ocean. The deep blue has more things to offer than simply water and fish. And Twilight knows it full well.
“In my third life I was born along the coast of South Carolina. Born into a fishtermans family and a fishing community. It was a life I didnt expect. As a small child I helped my mother farm eels in the rivers nearby. Eels are salt water creatures but they born and hatched in fresh water and will stay in the rivers till they are full adults then they will make their way into the ocean. Baby eels are delicacies in many countries. We use small nets and mine the rivers, the eels do not bite or anything, they arent electric eels. We would harvest the eels and send them all over the world, my family at the time and in that life made a decent living. As I grew a bit older when I was 12 my dad took me out on my first fishing trip. I kept expecting we would fish with rods but to my surprise it was much different, we used nets and it kind of left me empty. I wanted a challenge and taking fish from the ocean that way felt like cheating. They deserved better. But oh well. I learned to love and hate fish. We ate it almost every day in every manner you could think of. Blackened, fried, poached, sauteed, baked, broiled, pretty much anyway you could think of. We ate it, all types of fish and I wont bore you with the list. So 2 days after my 13th birthday there I am on the boat and I am staring into the water, I feel like its a dream, I am in a trance and I see fish I have never seen before bright orange and colors I would not be able to describe. And I could hear voices in my head, telling me to jump. Jump or the world would end, my parents would die, the ocean demanded a sacrifice for all they had taken and it must be me.
And with tears in my eyes I jumped, my father didnt notice until hours later, my body was never found. I died that day.
I remember my eyes burning, my lunging burning even more, the fish I had seen now floated in front of me and stared at me with eyes wide open, they were surprised I sacrificed myself. But I knew I had to.
And I tell this not to scare anyone but just to give you a glimpse of what my lives have been like. So there you go Robert Saints. I am not your typical person. Not the type you are used to facing, though you and I have faced off before, with you usually getting the best of me. But just like the ocean there is more to me than you can see. More to me underneath, things I have kept hidden, for fear the monster in me will be seen. And I guess its time. Wouldnt you agree?
Goodluck Robert.
