by bronwyn donohue Two Weeks at The scent of fish and brine fills my nose. The only sounds I hear are the waves crashing against my kayak, my heart beating, and a whale spouting somewhere in the distance. Thick fog hugs the kayak, creating the illusion that it is alone, that I am alone. But it is just that, an illusion. A school of fish turns suddenly beneath me, as if they share the same brain or can read each other’s thoughts. A razorbill sits on the water’s surface, oblivious to the harsh wind and bossy waves that toss him back and forth in their game of catch. An osprey circles above, its keen eye searching, waiting for the sun to glance oﬀ a telltale scale, alerting him that dinner is waiting.
