"Thirty One Days "

Chapter 10: The Pacific


It was unheard of nowadays. Being lost at sea. That was for people who took stupidly risky stunts and rickety old ships from three hundred years ago with uneducated, superstitious crews who used the stars to guide them. With today’s technology, navigation systems, and global positioning satellites, it was virtually impossible to disappear into the vast abyss of the world’s largest ocean.

Wufei snorted, though it was not derived from humor, but a strange sense of tragic irony. He’d lost two loves now. One to the brutal violence of war and the other to a freak transport accident. There’d been some sort of engine failure that caused it to plunge into the depths of the Pacific, close to the spot that he stood now. The three occupants of the transport were never found. The last search had been called off one year ago today.

He didn’t know why he was out here. He’d never been on a boat in his entire life. He didn’t know what he hoped to accomplish. Duo’s body would not be found, not now, not ever. But here, rocking along with the swells and risking the light lunch he’d eaten before he’d taken this ridiculous trip, he felt a sense of connection. Like maybe, just maybe, while Duo’s body may have been lost, his spirit remained. Floating among the tumultuous waves, warning others away from the danger, swimming with the sharks and the dolphins, and maybe even the mermaids. He always did love mermaids.
