Earth: Trinidad and Tobago: Tobago-Buccoo Reef

~Splash~

Ah, cool Caribbean waters, there is nothing like it anywhere else...well...I've never been anywhere else but everyone comes here so I'm gonna go out on a guess. I'm outfitted with my trusty snorkel exploring the Buccoo Reef...again.

 It's a pretty thing you know, you can't see it once and just be satisfied, here I've been watching it all my life, and I still love it.

After taking my fill of what nature has to offer, I rush to the surface to restock on good ole oxygen, then dive to the sea floor. I turn on my back and just watch as the sunlight easily breaks through the crystal water. I close my eyes slowly and I can feel myself rising to the surface, take that gravity ~middle finger~.

I love this feeling, being weightless. No one to care for no responsibilities no expectations, just me and my selfish wants. For a little, while it's all I want, all anyone wants. But like all "highs "it eventually dies down and you get hit with reality..., in this case, it happens to be the bottom of the Glass Bottom Boat.

I hit the glass at the bottom of the boat

~Muffled Screams~

I scare everyone.

~Splash~

I hop aboard the "Spotless Banana ", yes I know a shitty name for a boat.

"Ladies and Gents allow me de' pleaser of... reintroducing de' newest and youngest crew member ah' de' Spotless Banana Glass Bottom Boat, Theta betta' known as Anno.

I go' share de' funny story ah' how he geh' da' name as we head now to de' Nylon pool."

Once again he tells that old story. It always seems to be funny to the tourist, it just portrays me as a "know it all" on my first day when a fucked up at everything, tieing the boat, driving the boat I feel over the boat, I did everything but throw up on the boat, and whenever they had something to say I'd cut them off saying," I know!" Hence the shitty nickname.

Another boring day watching these desperate horny bastards of crew members trying to work their way into some Canadian pussy. These wannabe playboys got it out for every white girl on earth, and they have no standards really, but sometimes they reel in a pretty hot catch. I even see these idiots marking off tallies on the coconut trees. One of these fateful days they'll wake up with nasty case crabs, and I'll laugh.

I'll laugh to myself relishing the thought at the back of the boat and this prompts the boy next to me to move closer to his mother.

I'm not mad, I tell myself...at least I think I'm not.

Trinidad and Tobago: Tobago - Plymouth Western Tobago

I'm staring at the cloud passing by on this cool evening. Like everywhere else on earth, the place get relatively cool here on an evening, a 7o C drop approximately, from 34oC-27oC, sometimes lower if it's raining.

I take a right turn and head up North Street and stare out into the ocean to my left and watch as the wave's crash on the sandy shores. Not long after my feet take me to a white two story house with its wide open door, something that's very common here.

 You can very well walk into someone's house here. Crime, you might ask, who's that, don't know anyone by that name here in Tobago?

I push past the pink curtains and enter. Two sand brown couches rest on an abstract vinyl, vase decorates the coffee table in the very centre of the living room, paintings of beautiful black women in colourful African clothing that bring the deep green walls to life, flat screen there comfortable mounted on the walls with it's fateful companion down below on a desk of its own, the PS4TM.

I walk pass the black kitchen, head down the hall and take the last door on the left. A woman's' voice can be heard and steam is rising up out of the showers as an obscured feminine figure can be made out just beyond the shower curtains.

"...aint never had nobody show me all things that' you gon' show me..."

'Oh oh I know this song', ""And the special way I feel when you hold me..""

~Scream~ Nerissa pulls the curtain halfway, "THETA, WHAT DE' FUCK!"

"Hey, you left the door open, figured you wanted me to join in, not like I haven't seen you naked bef..."

I duck and run as the conditioner hits the wall.

"GET OUT PERVERT!"
