Rogue Wave

Sometimes, out of nowhere, comes the rogue wave... You can ride it, or get pulled under.







I roamed the untamed ocean.

Set out to play hero conservationist.




Those high seas? They remain lawless for many reasons.

Over ten years, I saw the worst that humanity has to offer.

And accomplished... nothing.




The futility of it all left me disillusioned. Numb.

I returned to the island of my childhood summers.

All I wanted was to lick my wounds. Hide. Regroup.




Like a rogue wave, an idealistic beauty thrust herself into my world.

Tells me we can make a difference.

We can save the oceans.

We're one with the sea.




Her naivety might be charming if it wasn't like looking in a time-warped mirror.

Her natural beauty might be appealing if she wasn't a college student.




The last thing she needs is a summer romance with a burned-out wreck like me.




She's too young. She's got everything in front of her.




And me? I've got commitments. And a past.




She promises release.

No need for guilt.

I aim for the crest, for a smooth, fun ride.

Unfortunately, my past comes calling, and we both get pulled under.
