Bobby walked back the way he had come, defiantly and purposefully striding  through  the  shell-strewn  sand.  Unexpected exhilaration  filled  him with  energy  as  he  walked.  The  breeze had picked  up  a  notch  or  two  and cajoled him along to the old pier that claimed dominion over the immediate vicinity.  He  stopped when  he  reached  the  creosote pillars  supporting the substantial, but weathered,structure and peered once again to the point where water and sky melded into one.  He focused on the ghostly rim of the Earth, where the foggy shadows of large shipping vessels on their way to the port at Wilmington could often be seen, and their baritone bellowing heard. Memories were all he had now, but he had chosen to survive, and his memories  would  sustain  him.  As  he  stood  there enraptured,  his  thoughts transported him back to an easier time.  The vision of his past became more lucid  with  each  breaking wave,  and  he  could  almost  here  the  whisper  of Blake’s voice calling to him, rising to a crescendo as it rode in on the crest of the timeless surf and dissolved into whispers at his feet.
