Weekly Contest #352
The sea loomed in front of Erick like a vast and endless monolith. There was nothing else in his life. Nothing but the unforgiving ocean. He tried desperately not to think of the family he’d left behind. Erick had spent the last five years of his life on this ship. The same route every year, the crab traps in the same spot each and every time. The Bering Strait was a cruel and unforgiving mistress.

This weekend, me and the boys from work at the brewery were going to the mountains. Iron Creek Trail was certainly no easy trek in the dead of winter, but it’d been our tradition for nearly three years.When Friday afternoon rolled around, I ducked out of work early to find Earl and Chuck already waiting for me at my truck.
