Focus on the horizon, not on the wave. Surfer man is wise. I tend to get caught up in the moment and forget what I'm trying to do and achieve.

Outstanding and surreal! Just like how the scene outside and within the protagonist melt into a cohesive sort of hallucination, this story took me and immersed me in it.

Cannot wait to read more of your works!

Ahh thank you Michael. I didn’t know what to write about so I got a random prompt of ‘a doctor and surfer and Hawaii’ but gotta infuse self truths. I am glad it’s relatable for you, and I’ve definitely been there too of course.
