I smile in relief when I remember, eyes shuttering against the sun, white overhead.<br>Then I roll onto my stomach and vomit onto the sand.<br>My relief sours to panic. No. No, no, no. I can\u2019t have my taro and chuck it up too. I need to hold it in. But the only thing coming out of me is a cocktail of seawater and bile. No taro.<br>Not in me. All in the ocean, dissolved to slime. Months\u2019 worth of taro, food for the fish.<br>And Hubert . . .<br>I wobble to my feet. My legs are already weakening, my vision zooming in and out of focus before finally stabilizing on an object farther down the shore.<br>A hull.<br>Or half of one, resting on a crescent of wet sand.<br>Hubert.<br>I thump to my knees and crawl to his remains. \u201cMorning, Bert,\u201d I manage.<br>And lose it.<br>I bawl until the tide rises, then, as I hold Hubert down so the sea won\u2019t wash him away, I form my first truly coherent thought: I need to bury him. Give him a proper goodbye.<br>I drag him onto safe, dry sand, and stagger around to face whatever lies behind me.<br>And what do you know.<br>There\u2019s a house on the rocks that looks suspiciously like M.M.\u2019s.<br>Then there\u2019s me. Standing. On a shore. The shore. After sailing Hubert seven days out into the sea, plus however much time has passed since, I\u2019m back. Waterlogged but alive.<br>Which begs the question: How in the fucking world?<br>Did I swim? Did I cling to Hubert and drift on some lucky waves? And even then, shouldn\u2019t I have thirsted to death?<br>I rack my brains, trying to remember something, anything, but all I\u2019ve got are muggy memories of drowning.<br>Chasing after the hows drains me, so I focus on the shoulds.<br>I should be ecstatic. I should be grateful I\u2019m not a bloated body in the sea. I should rebuild Hubert. Try finding Kay again.<br>Instead, I feel nothing.<br>I\u2019m back.<br>I\u2019m fucking back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About Joan He:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/havecoffeeneedbooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Joan.jpeg?resize=150%2C150&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Joan He\" class=\"wp-image-12451\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/havecoffeeneedbooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Joan.jpeg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/havecoffeeneedbooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Joan.jpeg?w=200&amp;ssl=1 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><figcaption>Joan He<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Joan was born and raised in Philadelphia but still will, on occasion, lose her way.
