97 Shattered Boa (2/2)
The beady eyes of the turtle would look up to him, helping him smile from the sheer cuteness.
”Thank you Dash and Bruno for making me smile.”
Thanks to the kind and gentle heart he had inherited from his mother, this little kid chooses to understand the pain his father is going thru and decided to let God do the rest for him.
He was willing to wait for it; until a certain day when everything changed.
It was almost getting dark and they are still in the middle of the sea.
Together with his father on the boat, the boy held the other side of the fishnet and slowly pulled in to harvest their catch.
”F*ck! Where did the F*cking fishes go?” The father cursed. Lately, his catches had been dwindling to almost nothing. Each day, he's getting fewer and fewer harvests, but today, he has finally reached the end of the net and still not a single fish has been caught.
SLAM! SLAM! SLAM!
”Stupid! F*cking! Ocean!”
Using the long paddle, the angry father slammed the long wooden pole against the body of the water together with his boiling rage. Without any fish to bring back, how would he eat? Much worst, how can he smoke tobacco and drink to sleep?
The boy took the little turtle, which has finally grown up a bit, out from his pocket. With a careful massage on its head, he started to talk gently.
”Calm down dad. I am sure God would bless us as long as we don't give up. We can do another round if you wan- Ahh!”
Using the same long wooden paddle, the father forcefully hit the boy with a good swing, causing the latter to twitch in agony. A faint crack of the young boy's bone can be heard snapping.
If not for the boy's reflex, the turtle could have been crushed by the wooden pole as well.
”What f*cking God are you talking about? What? God is Love? God is Generous? I dare you to call him now!”
WOOOOOOOSH!
SLAAM!
Out of nowhere, a huge wave grew like a mountain with an unexplainable reason not far from them and slamming down on their boat relentlessly.
The man, the boy, and the turtle were instantly engulfed with the massive body of the water leaving their boat dismantled into pieces in the middle of the dark ocean.
