Timmish – Lover of the Sea.
Now Timmish was a fisherman, his father was a fisherman, his father before his father as well, and his father before his father’s father was a shoe salesman; who saved up all his money for a boat so he could switch occupations to become a fisherman. Now as the 4th generation of being a fisherman he did not loathe the job at all, in fact he loved it. Ever since he was born he has always known the sea. Timmish was a pretty good looking fellow as well, being a fisherman is no easy task and his muscles and rough looks made him fairly attractive. There was a long line of women trying to fish for his attention, but sadly none compared to the shining jewel that was the sea. He would often talk to the sea as if it were a living creature and though it never talked he was perfectly content. He didn’t need the ocean to talk back to him so long as he had the ocean.
Now it was a bright and clear day, not a cloud in the sky. Being a man of the sea, Timmish saw this as an opportunity to go for some casual fishing. As much as his family favored using nets when fishing, he himself preferred the spear when going on pleasure cruises. As he set sail he felt the salty air brush against his skin. He smiled at the thought of being with the ocean once more. He jumped into his small boat and set sail into the quiet waters, but not for long. No sooner than 30 minutes into the ride lightening on a clear day struck taking out his sail, dragging him into rougher waters. Horrified he grabbed the wheel in hopes to steer away from the approaching storm, but such efforts were fruitless as the rudder snapped the moment he fought the waves. Now drifting into randomly generating dark clouds, he tried to paddle away with his hands; doing him no good of course. Rain poured down onto his face and he felt as if he was drowning while standing. Now to the mercy of the waves, he looked out and said, “I give up”, and he just lied down in his boat. He really did give up at that moment as the sea tossed him about like a child in a bath tub. It wasn’t that he accept death as his fate, but instead he put his life into the hands of the ocean. “The ocean, she be one hell of a mistress”. At this statement a deep voice could be heard, “You mean
he is one hell of a master”. He looked over board and saw an incredibly handsome creature man, body built like god and had scales upon his body, almost like the legendary Merfolk, but handsomer. “I am the embodiment of the sea and I have heard your plea, I’ll be sending you home now so no need to cry”. With the motion of his hand the waves began to push the boat back to land at a rather alarming speed. Timmish looked in awe, “No, wait, stop!” The Sea held out his hand in and asked with peaked interest, “Why?” After all these years of talking to the sea Timmish could finally have the sea talk back and he wasn’t going to miss this opportunity. The two of them talked for what seemed to him like an age and a half, and he loved every moment of it. Even when he found at the sea was a he and not a she, his feelings went unchanged for him. The Sea became quite fond of Timmish and would quite regularly visit him at his home. The two of them grew old together doing nothing but talk to each other every day. But that was okay, because that was all that Timmish ever wanted.
