Story

HORACE “HORRY” DEEPWATER

In den Stunden vor Morgengrauen stand HORACE “HORRY” DEEPWATER, Retired Deep Sea Diver / Instructor, ein Kind von Islanders of Shimmering Isles, getragen von Schicksal und Geheimnis.

HORACE war nicht wie die anderen. Nicht besser, nicht schlechter - nur anders. Eine Melodie in einer anderen Tonart. Ein Farbton, den nur wenige sehen konnten.

Das Leben hatte HORACE geformt, wie es alle formt - durch Freude und Schmerz, durch Hoffnung und Verzweiflung, durch die tausend kleinen Momente, die ein Leben ausmachen.

Aber da war etwas in HORACE. Etwas, das sich weigerte, sich fügen zu wollen. Eine Stimme, die flüsterte, wenn alle anderen schwiegen. Ein Licht, das brannte, wenn die Welt dunkel wurde.

Horry discovered something in the deep that he’s never told anyone, a city, or perhaps a creature, that defies explanation. He’s been trying to forget it ever since.. Das war die Last, die HORACE trug. Nicht schwer genug, um zu brechen. Aber schwer genug, um zu spüren. Immer da. Immer gegenwärtig.

Die anderen in Islanders of Shimmering Isles sahen es manchmal. In den Augen, die zu weit blickten. In den Händen, die zitterten. In der Stille zwischen den Worten.

Aber sie fragten nicht. Denn so war die Art ihrer Welt. Jeder trug seine Last. Jeder seine Geheimnisse. Jeder seine ungeschriebene Geschichte.

Und HORACE? HORACE ging weiter. Tag für Tag. Durch die Labyrinthe von Islanders of Shimmering Isles, durch die verschlungenen Pfade von Macht und Pflicht und Überleben.

Wartend. Hoffend. Träumend von dem Tag, an dem das Geheimnis gelüftet würde - oder für immer begraben bleiben würde.
