The Concrete Circle
The map was perfectly clear; this was where he would find it. He just hadn’t expected that he would have to get wet. Reluctantly, he swam out to the giant concrete circle. He looked deep down into it but couldn’t see the bottom. Even with that, he climbed up on the concrete, sighed, took a deep breath, and dove in without thinking. However, the moment that his body went underwater all the air expelled from his lungs. His instinct was to breathe in.

I once thought that the sight of my paintings would bring heaven on earth. Make a sad soul cheerful. I started out as a pizza delivery guy after graduation.

That’s how we become friends, partners in crime. I had just been promoted to supervisor level. I still h...
