It’s interesting that as a young sailor, he developed the same hubris that took his father.

Fantastic imagery, thank you!

“(…) her laughter cutting through the haze of his guilt-ridden solitude like sunlight through fog”.

This is gorgeous. I love the way you describe things, it really conjures up visuals in my head.

A couple years ago, I went hiking on the Faroe Islands by myself, and this story brought me back there, with the dark sea, the islands in the distance and the sense of isolation and surrealness.

Beautiful, please keep writing.
