The fisherman traveled with his other 3 companions to the sea, what's going to happen?
"so, what are you going to do now?"
Jimmy asked
"it's probably going to be harder from now on, ya better get latched and get laid or something, though the girls here might not be as hot as in the states they're still not bad either."
He continues.
It's been a while since i've lived here, the state of Oceania where the tides were black and low the sea was as dark as the night itself, the moon round and shine brighter than the sun.
3 years, 3 whole years!.. what did i do? Eat malt farm wheat?!
There was a lady that i felt comfortable around with, she... Ended up getting married with his friend since age of 5.. compared to me who have only known her for three years, i'm sure normal person would have picked him. I can't really argue on that.. But it still stings..!
She did accompany me on some trips where i needed attention, feeling alone wasn't the best feeling and i've been feeling lonely since i've come here, this place resembles home, but with a lot space and so little warmth.
There were only 15 people living in a 200 km square island. 'State of Oceania' they called it. More like small bit of land beside the sea.

On a saturday night my friend Tom and Jimmy invited me to fish together like what we did on usual holidays. They next three months are going to rain hard they said. I agreed, i feel.. to mend this hard (heart)break a travel to the black sea might help, fishing while making our friendship tighter is a great idea, and the farms on rainy season are going to be harsh on me, i'd rather fish.
The Black Sea were always calm and low even on rainy seasons. People here says it was caused by the prophet who once lost her child in the raging sea, our state was once called 'The Raging Storm', but that stopped happening since the prophet madness turned the sea black and low, to never rise and defy the prophet's magic. Yeah, she turned mad, after losing her only child.
We then packed our things and went to set sail in the dusk. The fog was still there, i pack three fishing rods and 5 cans of bait. Should be enough for all of us. I'd check my big backpack before i left i thought.
Tom and jimmy came by the clocktower and waved at me.
"Hey orlen! I thought you went ahead before us!" Shout Tom
"Ya getting ahead of us eh?" Said Jimmy
I chuckled at them and answered, "let's just get on the boat and set sail!"
I couldn't deny my excitement since it's been a long time we sail together, but no one knows how we ended up in the end..
—
Jimmy brought some tuna fish sandwich and drinks for us to eat on the boat, we pull the hook and launch our boat to the sea.
The waves were unfortunately ferocious. Why? The last 300 years there haven't been any big waves the tides weren't rising too, so why today? Did we pick an unlucky day to sail?? I wondered.
Tom looked around with confusion "Dude.. this weren't supposed to happen..", "what if we ended up like the dead movie main cast" this is not funny at all! He shouted.
I kept quiet as i also am clueless about what to do in this situation, Jimmy on the other hand, tried to look for other ships that might come across path and hold the paddle tightly so that we could at least ride back home.
"Orlen! Hey Orlen! What we gonna do! Ya mate blind or something look at that big waves coming at us! We all gonna drown at this point!" Jimmy shouted at us.
"What.. we gonna do i guess we just have to lay low and enjoy the big wave wash our body.."
I said, n-nervously..
To be honest i do not know what to do either, neither did Jimmy and Tom, we were all just hoping for a plentiful weekend full of barbequing the fish we caught today but, didn't know we'd end up washed to the shore dead.
"We.. let's just calm our mind and ride sideways we might find some cave, the waves are.. big and they will swallow us either way so.., crashing a cave will at least give us a place to stay dry while if we manage to.. be.. alive.." Tom answered meekly,
Tom and Jimmy have been friends since they both attend the same school near the state border, the state of flourishing land and education which learns barter and buying selling market products as their main trait. It's named 'The city of Odiyan'. people went there often to pursue business and education since they were more flourished than the other states.
They've been together as long as i can remember, when i first met them in a park near the Odiyan border, they were together walking with their elbows wrapped around and jumping around the streets like an idiot, they have just bought the icecream from a stand who rarely went selling stuff. I sat there with my hotdog looking a bit baffled.
"May i sit next to you?" Tom said.
Yeah yeah i answered. Jimmy looked at me a bit weirdly i nearly thought he was into me.
I jokingly asked them "so how long have you been together?"
"Around 7 years yeah?" Jimmy said to Tom.
Wow, 7 years, for me who've only had girlfriend past the age of 10 that only dated me because it was listed in my birthday wish, 7 years sure was a lot.
"So you guys have done it?, often haha maybe on the weekends, or during the break, in the toilet and bedroom" i asked painfully, i am a virgin, since the age i was born. Virgin since birth. So i won't deny that i'm envious of how intercourse would feel like, even if the other party is of the same gender.
Jimmy and Tom looked at each other for a second then bursted out laughing "nono we are not like that, we are just college roommates" Jimmy answered me.
I blushed for asking and saying unappropriate remarks, i wonder if it's the mind fog taking a toll on me to ask the question to the two strangers i just met on the park.
—
My brain went blank. That's the thought that came to mind when i saw the big wave surging towards us, the first moment the 3 of us met. That park, that day, that blue shirt i was wearing. "Oh what a light blue color," i screamed, as the black sea emerges on us.
We were washed ashore. I couldn't find any signs of Tom and Jimmy nearby, I remembered the moment the black high waves hit on our heads, breaking our boats and fell in the ocean. Their eyes were as white as if they'd seen a ghost right above their heads. I wonder if they're okay, maybe they were washed ashore. I tried to think postively, since here in this dark damp cave only i was here.
My backpack, gone!, my torch light?? Where is it? I remember i put in the side pocket of my backpack! So.. gone also!
I straddled inside the cave trying to see what was written on the wall and trying to not slip by the wet ground..
