Julian woke up to the sound of seagulls squawking overhead. He sat up in bed and stepped out of his cabin, running for the deck. He could just see the rising sun and its beauty. He reached for the drawing book tucked under his arm and began sketching.
"Good morning. And I thought I was the only early bird"
He looked out at the sun rise once more.
"Have you ever been on the water?"
"Sounds like a childhood dream. Why did you stop going?"
"That's.... horrible. I still have both parents....," he trailed off.
"Nothing much," he stifled a laugh. "Typical family." His eyes found the sun and he grew quiet.
