"Island Adventure" is a reflective, character-driven story about an aging man who spends his days building intricate model boats at his kitchen table.
​ The story weaves his present-day solitude with rich memories of his youth on the island he loves—his deep connection to the sea, his time learning from local fishermen, and his quiet longing for a life he never fully claimed.
Now estranged from his family, including children he never truly wanted, he finds solace and structure in his daily crafting, even as a deep existential melancholy—referred to as The Silence—pervades his life. The story contrasts the vibrancy of the island’s past with the emotional isolation of the present, exploring themes of regret, masculinity, unfulfilled dreams, and the tension between independence and responsibility.
​
"Island Adventure" will appear in the 2025 edition of THE ISLAND READER multi-art anthology.
