The story of Achileas, a 20-year-old guy from Leros, Dodecanisos, Greece, who grew up in Athens and Piraeus and one day decided to gather his friend group and reveal to them a secret that he has been hiding for quite some time, while he will try and convince them to go to Leros to spend the summer months. There, he will get in touch with someone who has marked his childhood and teenage years and has made him fall in love for the first time in his life.

The story was forged in my mind in 2019, when i moved to Piraeus for the first time to attend my college classes. 
I was in a bus station next to the port of Piraeus waiting for the bus, while listening a song by ALOK, Zebra and IRO called Ocean. Heavily influenced by the ships that were departing in front of me, i saw a scene from a story. And The a second and a third. Slowly, the story was taking shape in the typewriter of my mind.

The story was written and published in spring of 2020. The Translation was made by my sister Alexia.
