“It’s a riptide. You don’t fight the current Rachel, that’s how even strong swimmers exhaust themselves and die. Swim parallel to the coast instead. The ocean’s gonna get bored of you eventually, she’ll let you go if you’re patient enough and don’t fight her.” OceanSurrenderPatience And TimingDeltaAcquiescenceRiptideRiptides Book:Motion of Intervals Source: Motion of Intervals
“I was raised in the desert and always appreciated the way its landscape gives you a chance to see what's coming. In Florida, dangers don't reveal themselves until it's too late. The alligator lurking in the shallow pond, ready to devour your pet or your child. The snake hidden in the underbrush. The riptide slicing across that postcard-perfect Atlantic. Sinkholes. Encephalitis. Brain-destroying bacteria that flourish in overheated lakes. Quicksand.” DangerIllnessFloridaSnakesAlligatorsQuicksandDangersLandscapesSinkholesRiptides Book:I Hold a Wolf by the Ears: Stories Source: I Hold a Wolf by the Ears: Stories
