It was one sunny morning, I biked to Lake Erie. It was not too hot, nice breeze. I saw many boats, small, big, floating on the lake. All the sails were so picturesque.
I saw Mike, my colleague. I remembered, he had a beautiful Catalina 30 dock in the marina here. He waved at me.
" Wanna come with me?" He asked.
"What about my bike?" I said.
"Bring it to the boat".
Yup, this beauty could carry 6 people.
So we sailed around, we went more or less 50 miles across the lake, Cleveland looked so far away. I looked at Mike.
"Are we going to Canada?".
"Maybe" he shrugged.
We saw white sandy beach, this must be Ontario Peninsula.
"I don't bring my passport " I said.
"We will not land" he answered.
"What's that?" I pointed at something shiny on the beach.
Mike brought the boat closer. Oh no. It looked like something, some shiny creature with a body like a small kid.
"Should we come close?" I asked.
This reminded me of ET movie.
We docked. We walked closer to this thing, this shiny kid like creature.
"What is it, Mike?".
He examined this creature. It had blood on his tail. Wait, this kid had a fish tail. This might be a mermaid, no, merman, oh merboy. He was injured.
"He is still breathing " Mike said.
"We have to bring him back to where he belongs ".
Mike, a handsome, tall, muscular man, he had no trouble carrying this merboy to the boat. Put a bandage to the wound.
We sailed back, in the middle of the lake, the deepest part, he carried the merboy and slowly put him in the water. Splash. He swam a bit then we did not see him anymore.
We glided through the water, silently, back to the Cleveland shore. Strangely, we heard a soft beautiful, erie song carried by the wind from far. Would it be from the merfolk we encounter? I wondered.
By that time, the sun almost set. We arrived at the marina. Mike put my bike down. We were quiet, our mind racing, trying to comprehend what just happened to us.
He went with his car, I rode my bike home. I drank my coffee, had something to eat. Before I went to bed, took off my clothes, I slept naked if you wonder, I still thought about my incredible experience this afternoon. Was it real? I pinched my arm, aww it hurt.
