A man sees a boat that is full of people. And yet there isn’t a single person on the boat. How is this possible? Everyone on the boat is married, so there isn’t one single person on the boat. The man wonders if it’s legal for a transportation system to discriminate against unmarried people. It doesn’t seem legal, but maybe maritime laws are different? Perhaps if things had ended differently with Heather, the man would be on the boat, too. He laughs sadly to himself. He was always single, even when he was with Heather. Love is an illusion. There are no purely unselfish actions. Heather and Dale deserve each other. The man blows his nose. He didn’t even realize he’d been crying. ~ Ethan Kuperberg
