We build their cities, we run their machines, we fight their wars. We are nothing more than fuel; fuel that powers the elite; the elite that hide behind their logos of corporations. This is their world and their most valuable resource is not in the ground; it is us. After all, money is not what drives them, its power; money is simply the tool they use to control us; worthless pieces of paper we depend on to move, feed and entertain ourselves. They gave us money; we gave them the world.

Leaving all my belongings behind, I head straight to the sea and paddle for the giant’s causeway where the waves looked clean. I become in an intense combined state of euphoria, peace, presence and excitement; it’s kind of like time ceases.

Paddling out wasn’t as hard as I thought. But before I get to too relaxed, a large set breaks on the shallow sand bank. I was just caught on the inside. I try to duck dive it but the wave rips the board from underneath me and picks me up and throws me around like a washing machine. The ferociousness and power of the wave tears my leg rope in half losing my surfboard and its buoyancy it gave me. I pop up on the other side of the wave and gasp some air. The next wave doubles up but I manage to get underneath the wall of water. The power of it pushes me back a few feet nevertheless I make a dash to get past the next

    Often times we talk to individuals about their favorite vacation spot or where the place they feel the most at rest is; the response we get most often is the ocean. This is because the ocean is restorative. The quiet roar of the waves, the sound of seagulls chirping, the salty breeze, the ocean is a place of peace. For many the sea is not just a vacation destination, but the sea is a friend. Something that is consistent, and always listening.…

    Kill them all? Usually our missions involved three or four deaths at the very most, and Kushim took care of those for me whenever he could. The way Senok was explaining things it sounded like a few dozen deaths, if not more. Kushim and I exchanged an uneasy glance, and then I knew he didn’t like it either. Senok went on with the details of our mission, oblivious to our inner turmoil.…

    Boating into in the Wellfleet Cove in Cape Cod, the first thing I noticed was how the towering sand dunes on the peninsula protected the still, glassy waters within it from wind. The cove was a sanctuary from my anxious life I led at home. My anxiety causes me to have to look at the future as an overwhelming heap of events with a variety of possible outcomes. I remind myself everyday to take things one step at a time so as not to get ahead of myself in a moment. But in the cove, I need not worry about the future because time ceases to exist there.…

    As if she could hear his thoughts, the woman turned in her saddle and stared straight at him across the narrow valley. Consumed by rage, Alvar he dug his heels into the mare's ribs and charged down the forest path. His ire didn't impede his observing a thin smile crossing her slender face as she loosened the pack tied to her saddle, its contents clattering as the bag dropped to the ground seconds before he would crash into her. The noise and the sunlight reflecting off the polished metal spooked his horse causing the mare to jump off the trail, stumble, and spill him into the bushes. Stunned by a blow to his head and weakened from his previous injuries, he lay there a moment to catch his breath and clear his head.…

    Taking a deep breath of the salty breeze made me realize how sleepy, I am, and how this beach has a strange aroma that reminds me of a powerful sleeping drug. The sounds of crashing waves are slowly diminishing, and I feel exhausted to the bones. As the light starts fading my eyes feel heavy and ponderous. When I awaken my eyes wander to the moon, which took dominance of the sky, and night has befallen.…

    My sisters run toward the palm tree to take a picture while my mother strolls to the shore line to hunt for a prized shell. My father wades in the seawater; saturating the salty goodness like a sponge saturates water. I remain behind and wait, soaking in the tranquil purity by inhaling the healing scenery. I examine the volleyball players in the corner of my vision. As they insistently dive for the ball, the sand is like a cascading fountain, pouring into the wind.…

The rain was going to come down any second; it’s distinct smell was filling the air. Plush, intertwining clouds pushed their grey front towards where I stood.…
