Tara - Swimming

> Tara and Mike were walking hand-in-hand along a desolate beach. Suddenly, way
off in the distance, Tara spotted something she had never seen before. "
What's that?," she asked Mike, pointing far out into the ocean. Mike looked in
the direction she was pointing and gasped," My god Tara, it's a ship, it's a
ship !!! " He began to wave his arms frantically up in the air and shout at
the top of his lungs. Unfortunately, the boat was several miles offshore, way
too far out to see or hear him. To make matters worse, it was heading away
from them. In desperation, Mike started to enter the water. A strong hand then
grabbed him by the shoulder and prevented him from going any further. " It's
dangerous to swim out there Mike," Tara gently told him. " You remain here and
I will get them for you." As Mike watched in awe - he never ceased to be
amazed by what Tara was capable of doing - she dove into the water and, like a
human torpedo, began swimming rapidly out towards the ship. It couldn't have
been more than a half an hour later that Mike noticed the vessel changing
course and begin to move shoreward.
