It was a human. More like a small boy. But there were no dolphins. He was
floating on a plank of wood. It was almost as if the dolphins had abandoned
this boy. It was not as if he was in any major trouble of sinking, the
plank of wood he was on was fairly strong. However Ray was already wading
out to the boy. Bless stood on the shore, showing concern for the boy but
also showing impatience to move on. Ray was now up to his waist in the
strongly flowing seawater. He could only hope that the boy would float
towards him. However the current was pushing against him, which did suggest
that the boy was floating towards him. Reaching out he grabbed the wood,
and slowly but firmly started to pull it in with the boy still on top. By
now Bless had grown tired of waiting on the shore and had waded in herself
a bit to help Ray pull the raft far enough towards the shoreline. With the
help of Bless the raft was soon ashore, and the boy on his back,
unconscious. Ray cradled the head of the boy in his arms while Bless stood
by, hoping that they could move on. Slowly but not too slowly the boy's
eyes opened. He blinked. He blinked again. Then he rubbed his eyes and
blinked again. And then he stared at Ray. He didn't say anything, he just
stared.
