A Date With WaterTop Story - April 2021
I have always loved the water. I soak in hot springs. I mud and salt my bare body in murky lakes. I pray in holy rivers. I swim naked in Japanese bath-houses with other naked women. Immersing myself in water is the only time I truly switch off from the world. When I turn the tap labelled H all the way to the right with just a little bit of C, I dunk my head in as the ceramic bowl fills. I feel my hair soak and my ears fill with growling minerals. My nose and face are exposed in the hot damp air, just enough for me to breathe. I close my eyes, and I listen to the waters thunder. If I keep my eyes shut long enough, I envision myself lost at sea, floating away from a sunken ship. The water is not rough, nor cold. I float through the night, staring up at the stars that blanket the sky. I see huge stars, tiny stars, a white full moon with a blank staring face. The sinking ship is far from me now, I have no guarantee of surviving the night. But in this sea, I am completely safe, for if death should come I couldn’t ask for a calmer one. In essence, everything is sweet.

Meriam
“It’s a very good deal. You will not find such a good price as this”. The surgeon adjusts his glasses, flicking through his little black notebook. He peers down at his watch, time is short. He shows the notebook to the man. “See, forty thousand, that will buy her a new heart. We cannot guarantee it will work, but it is her best shot.”

Emory
The gilded sun beams over the horizon, light softly touches the hills and creeks; the afternoon warmth bestows its blessing onto the lathe of Eleron. Springtime is magnificent this time of year, a crisp clear air fills the town; flowers of pinks and golds pave the trails and cherry pollen blows swiftly in the breeze. It is the perfect season for a humble fisherman and his grandson, a boy of eighteen, to snatch their takings from the sea.
