We had been living in a small house on the beach for a few days and I had gotten myself settled into a comfortable daily routine. I was already back from a nice walk through the forest on the island and it was now getting dark. Someone was playing a trivia game on their phone while the wind outside continued to rage on. After a brief moment of hesitation, I decided to step out to sea in the storm. I thought that the salt water would help reduce a bit of the bloat I was feeling in my body.
