Save our souls

Save our souls - Have you tried planking? The activity where you support your horizontal body with your forearms and toes? Long and increasingly tiring exertion.

The bosun appeared diminished. The world was tilting all over. The horizon had disappeared, it was as if we were in a bucket about to spill over. A bad mannered child shaking it with malicious intent, watching the tiny ants struggle against the waves. We didn't speak anymore, what was our struggle had become his and mine, it wasn't like a voice carried far enough that he'd hear me anyways.

Interspersed between the crashing waves the rocks would become submerged, sometimes the water simply rose up to engulf us, other times a wave pummeled the rocks. A hard punch into the back, and then the the sensation of the current trying to peel us off, moving up, moving down, forward.

Well, eventually I looked down and to my horror I saw that the bosun wasn't there anymore. And not long after, my hold also slipped. That's the last thing I can recall before I arrived in Faarwell.
