In An Octopus' Garden in the Shade

Jan 18, 2009 04:26

Eddie laid at the bottom of the indoor pool, his arms behind his head, and looked a lot like someone might look lounging on the grass on a warm summers day. He always loved the way the world above looked from underwater, some might view it as being distorted, but Eddie thought differently. He thought this was the only time he saw the world clearly. Because the world was so distorted by hate and anger, war and suffereing, it didn't need to be as complicated as everyone made it out to be.

The young man clearly didn't understand why world peace was impossible. He didn't get how or why people couldn't just couldn't get along with one another. The young man just laid back and allowed himself to drift off to sleep, thankful that the pool was saline and not chlorine. It made it a much more comfortable breathing environment.
