Summary

“I am a man of passion. You don’t know what that means, unless you are my kind. At the orphanage where they put me just before Garfield was assassinated, there were some older boys that caught a horse in a slopping field. They got the horse up against a fence down at the bottom of the field and tied him up. An old horse. They put kerosene on his tail and lit it and cut the rope and away went that old horse busting through fences to get away from the fire. But the fire went with him. That horse, that’s me. That’s the man of passion. The fire chases you and catches you and then it’s in your blood. And after that, it’s the fire that has control, not the man. Blame the fire of passion for what Albert H. Fish has done…" Writing Credit - Tyler Bell.

0:47.0	the ocean. It took me 35 years to finally lay eyes on it. Before that I
1:01.3	only knew ponds, rivers, lakes, puddles in comparison, but just as mysterious and
1:09.2	creepy in their own way.
1:12.2	I swim, I fish, but I'm never at peace around deep water. It's
1:18.8	bothersome. Standing beside or floating above it strikes fear in me.
1:23.0	That same fear I feel when looking over the edge of a balcony,
1:27.0	that same impending sense of doom I get
1:30.0	when my son gazes dreamily at the window of a plane, a window that I'm certain is about to burst,
1:35.8	then suck him screaming out into the clouds.
1:39.2	At least from a height I can see what's down below.
1:44.4	With deep water, you just don't know what the fuck is going on down there, and what you're
1:48.8	signaling with your stupid kicking legs or dopey wooden paddle. This is a neurotic concern, I know. I also fear moving
1:59.0	water. I hate the idea of undertoes, riptides, rip currents, invisible forces waiting to suck
2:06.4	you under and tumble the skin from your body with sticks and rocks and dirt.
2:14.1	The beach is a beautiful place, depending on if there's people there or not, of course.
2:20.8	I had the pleasure of standing alone by the ocean for my first encounter.
2:25.0	It was an overcast and windy day in April.
2:28.0	I marveled at its power and immensity for a while, sipping from my can of oversized beer. It wasn't until I walked in and let the waves
2:36.9	soak the bottom of my tightly rolled jogging pants that I felt it. The pull. The first hint of how old, blind and dangerous that beast is.
2:49.0	The first indication that I was alone with a killer, a provider of life from a distance, sure, but up close.
2:57.6	That thing is hungry.
