As the shades of the evening draw near, I am within view of a melancholic, dark bridge connecting two small islands. This bridge is intact and new. The clouds covering the night sky have turned the color of the sea to dark blue. An intense luster at the entrance of one of the islands blinds you. The luminous light seems like portal, which opens up to another dimension. The sea water is so still that at first glance, it is difficult to understand if it is water or ice. Although the ocean seems serene and peaceful, underneath the surface are violent currents ready to whisk away anyone who dares to defy them.
