The Ride
Jacob grasped his younger brother’s hand. It had taken four gruelling
days with little sleep and even less food. With every trudging step, Jacob’s
faith remained firm; belief in a fairy tale that was mocked by everyone. Belief
led them to this spot and they waited.
Silence was their only companion. A fine mist rose from the calm sea, meeting
the candy floss clouds as the heat became intense, forming blisters on Jacob’s
uncovered hands.
“What do you see Charlie?” Jacob asked.
“Waves, like horses.”
“Me too. Remember the story I told you?” Charlie nodded. “Are
you ready to take a ride?” Again
Charlie nodded but he squeezed tighter. In unison, they leapt from the cliff edge,
meeting the horses in a salty foaming frenzy that threatened to suck them down
to the depths.
Within moments, they were grinning; souring high on the back
of the winged horse from Jacob’s fairy tale, to salvation.
