Tyler grabbed his board and
Headed out towards the breakwall
Tyler bit his nails and
Watched the water hit the shoreline
Musty and the grey sky
Loomed over his dark mind
Not a thought regarding
The wipeout he would soon find
He hit the waters
He caught the gails
Blissful stupidity
Tyler could not tell what
Caused the sudden slip and drowning
Tyler's lungs had filled and
Stifled gasps and screams filled the air
During the next day they
Found tyler's dead body laying
Washed up at the breakwall
Eyes rolled to the back of his head
Tyler could not know
What they had planned for
Had planned for him
Wicked tunnel of air
Formed over the water
Flung him out to the lake
For the fish and bugs to feed on
Sucked into the whirlpool
The sirens sweetly call out his name
Tyler's short story
