It’s a warm summer day in July. The fulgent sun sits high above me in a resplendent blue sky. I’m lying atop of a yacht in the middle of a vast colorful blue ocean somewhere off the coast of the Bahamas. There are no clocks here and I’m not sure what time of day it is. I just know I could lay here for eternity beneath the incandescent yellow sun. My mind is deficient of thoughts; my best friend is asleep on the quaggy cushions beside me. All I hear is the waves placidly sloshing against the boat, careening it almost like a rocking cradle. I have no worries or fears here, lying on top of this gargantuan boat, except for maybe falling off... There is a light, humid, balmy breeze that cools my sticky skin, glistening from a mixture of salty seawater and sweat; things that would usually bother me but today they do not. With the sun warming my now reddish-tan skin I soon fall asleep amidst the lulling ocean sounds.
