I stepped into my tiny fishing boat, feeling the sway of it as the water below gave way.  With a sigh I turned around and grabbed the tackle and bait boxes, and heaved up the rest of my gear into the boat. 

Fishing has always been a way for me to relieve stress and squash my inner demons. Today is more about habit though I suppose.

I quickly unfastened the rope from the dock and buoyed out a bit before pulling the ripcord to start my tiny propellor engine.

And away we go.

Today I felt different though.  The normal calm I usually feel at going out to sea seemed.....off.  I shrugged off the feeling and placed my fingers out to the sky to measure where the sun was.

Plenty of time to fish. 12:30ish I think. Something seemed odd though; why didn't I just have a watch or a phone on me? I shrugged off the feeling.

A certain unease plagued me, almost like a slow buzzing forming by my ears.  Like white noise, but dull.  It was almost as if someone was near me; an odd sense of hope if you will.

I made it out to where I felt was a good spot to sink a line for a bit.  With a cast of my reel and the sound of a soft ker-plunk as my weighted hook hit the water I closed my eyes.

Dreaming:

Where are you now?
What?
Why are you here, in this place?
I'm not sure. I keep coming here, but I don't know why. Nan Molla.
Is this your daydream?
My daydream?
I can't be your sunshine unless you open your eyes; wish upon the sky.
I'm just getting some rest....
WAKE UP!
