Rain in the Ocean

Rain in the Ocean

-dedicated to Aino

Flávio H. Peixoto was at a brink of extinction, the intense and continuous rain that punished the Ocean's surface determined each second it passed, the future of Peixoto, he couldnt fight the elements, his false strenght, his weak determination would tremble to the solid and unique truth that he was alone.
In the middle of the imense deep blue ocean, he couldnt see in his blindness that the rain covered all his landscape, he could only see interference in his vision. His small fragile boat was at the mercy of the winds and oceans as a mortal is at the mercy of superior gods.
Still, above all that stood against him, the sea, the winds, the waves, Poseidon's will that remained on every move the sea took, he kept sailing on his front, no one and nobody would be stopping him.
A light from behind created a white vexus on the rain curtain that continued falling down and hitting the water, Peixoto could notice a vague flush of irregular waves stumbling down the cracked wood of his boat. He looked back, he had someone at his trail, he whispered some cursing words and kept going. He should kept going no matter what.
Suddenly he hears the most beautiful voice, like a mermaid, but a litlle bit more sad and nostalgical, he looks back, there was a fading golden glow between the rain drop, he started to feel hot water on his face, he couldnt notice if it was the rain, or tears crawling down his cheek.
Yet, he must kept going, a few meters back, this girl was driving a boat, full of faith, full of strenght, so full of scars, there was too many holes on the boat, the sea have treated the misterious girl's boat really bad, yet, it didnt sink, it just kept going so steady and determined as always, there was a sea whirlwind in a question of yards on the front of the man's boat, he would go down with it, she would stop him.
She knew she would have to save him, it was symbiotical, he saved her so much times, and she did the same, they needed each other to not to sink on the imense deep blue ocean, so cruel and so fair.
Soon, the mermaid voice girl would recoil Peixoto's boat, take him to shore, and together they would look again at the sea, knowing that they had each other at their side, wondering, when would they adventure themselves again in the Deep Blue.
