Hope
Hello!
My name is Serf!
And I like to go out into the ocean with my surfboard and surf the waves!…
Well, anyhoo; I was out surfing waves one day, and then suddenly! one of the waves that I was surfing began behaving very oddly!…
It began changing directions!, and that meant that me continuing to ride the wave ended up taking me further away from the beach instead of taking me closer to the beach!…
And perhaps I should’ve just stopped riding the wave early on; but I can get very stubborn and determined sometimes, and so the part of me that was committed to riding the wave for as long as I possibly could managed to win the day!…
And so I continued riding the wave for hours!; and it was really fun, but I was a bit worried that I might get stuck in the middle of the ocean!…
And, I mean, getting stuck in the middle of the ocean with my surfboard could make it so that I wouldn’t survive for very long!…
Because, like, I wouldn’t have drinkable water (since saltwater is too salty to survive on), and predators like sharks might gobble me up before the lack of drinkable water could send me to an early grave!…; and so that meant that I really had to hope that the wave would either take me to a shore somewhere or that it would take me to a boat that was out on the ocean!…
But, anyway…; I continued riding the wave!, and I decided to just enjoy myself and keep my eyes out for boats and shores that the wave might lead me to!…
And then eventually I did see a large boat!, and so then I quickly decided that it was time to ditch the wave and head over towards the boat!…; and so I quickly! ditched the wave when I was as close to the boat as the wave was going to get me, and then I made my way towards the boat!…
It took a little while to reach the boat, but eventually I did reach it; and somebody who was on the boat noticed me when I was very close to the boat!, and so he quickly! lowered a rope ladder down to me; and so then I quickly climbed up the rope ladder with my surfboard, and I hoped that the folks on the boat would all be friendly and would be willing to allow me to stay with them on their boat until the next time that they’d be arriving at a shore somewhere!…
And so then before long I had soon climbed with my surfboard to the top of the rope ladder, and then the person who’d lowered the ladder for me said, “That’s pretty strange that you ended up all the way out here with just you and a surfboard!…
But, oh well; my name’s Triton, and I can go ahead and introduce you to the rest of the crew so that we can all figure out what the best way to proceed is!…” and then I said, “Thanks, Triton!; and I’m Serf!, and I sure am grateful that you lowered the rope ladder so that I could come aboard; and I hope that we can all figure out a good way to proceed!…” and then Triton said, “Good to meet you, Serf!; and, for sure!…; hopefully we can work something out that everybody’ll be happy about!, and so just follow me! and you can meet the rest of the crew!…” and then I began following Triton towards the rest of the crew, and I figured that if the rest of the crew was even close to being as friendly as Triton was then things were going to go pretty well for me on the boat that that strange wave had taken me to!…









great start, intriguing
