The Weight On The Line

<p>Out on the open water with nothing but wind waves and a single line running down into the dark a man measures himself against the one thing he cannot bargain with: the truth. Once the strongest back on the dock and the first boat out of the harbor he now feels every creak in his joints and every invisible pull of the people who depend on him. Chasing the fish of a lifetime becomes more than a day's work-it's a last desperate contest between who he was and who he is becoming. As a storm builds on the horizon and the sea turns mean he battles the weight on his line the weight in his chest and the quiet fear that his best days are already behind him. By the time the clouds break victory and defeat are no longer simple things and survival itself has become the greatest catch of all.</p>
